Tokyo Game Show Dangerous! may be postponed or scaled down by power rationing

Due to the impact of the earthquake and tsunami, the domestic sale of a large number of game software and the operation of online games have been forced to suspend, many related activities have to be postponed or even canceled, the disaster to the Japanese gaming industry, the blow is unprecedented. In such a context, the annual games meeting in Tokyo (Tokyo Game Show), scheduled for September this year, also faces a variety of crises.　　As for whether TGS 2011 can be held as scheduled as usual, not only the industry, players also expressed concern.　　Tokyo Electric Power has issued a recent announcement that because of the earthquake caused by the power supply tension will continue for quite some time, the current domestic plans for power outages and blackouts are expected to continue into April, the surge in summer air-conditioning use may lead to a new round of power supply crisis. In the premise of such a tight electricity, do not say that the Tokyo game show such an annual exhibition, even the annotated Tokyo Disneyland theme park, is also facing the problem of operating as usual.　　Although it is not yet certain how the organizers will respond to the CESA, it is not hard to imagine that this year's show will not be the same as in previous years, where the booths are still full of huge LCD TVs, deafening BGM resounded throughout the venue ... Worse, the crisis comes not just from power shortages.　　Due to the TGS venue of the International Exhibition Center Qianye County, the recent continuous Soil liquefaction report (refers to the solid soil under the external force liquefaction, more than after the earthquake), to host such a large-scale exhibition, the organizers have to consider the safety of the issue. At the same time, because the game manufacturers in the earthquake are affected by varying degrees, coupled with the disaster itself on the Japanese economy, do not exclude exhibitors to temporarily cancel the exhibited plan.　　In addition, Fudao nuclear power plant leakage accident, to Japan and neighboring countries have caused a considerable degree of panic, in the past few years, the growing number of overseas exhibitors and tourists, it is bound to avoid. In response to many of the outside questions, TGS organizers said in a recent media interview: "There is no suspension of the plan at this stage." But it was also recognized that the possibility of "downsizing" should not be excluded, given future changes. (Edit/Xu Mingming)
