So. What does the final TGS attendance tally read? Why... it's over nine thousaaaand!!! Oh, hell yeah, it's way over nine thousand indeed. CESA, the guys who organized the event, released the final number of attendees for this year's Tokyo Game Show.

Compared to last year, TGS 08 has gotten about a thousand more attendees, thus setting a new record for highest turnout in TGS history. Let's bring up the numbers!

• TGS 07 total: 193,040
• TGS 08 total: 194,288

To break down the numbers from TGS this year, the first two days (the one restricted only to press and business outfits) had a lower attending population by 10,690 vistors compared to last year. The next two days, however, (the ones dedicated to the public) showed a higher turnout by an increase of 11,938 visitors.
