Pax Eastern Games show attracts nearly 70,000 people into the largest game show in the United States

(Compiled/Katy fish) According to overseas media reports, the second game show held in the United States this year, Penny Arcade Expo East has successfully closed in Boston last weekend, organizers said the exhibition attracted nearly 70,000 participants, the number of people increased by 32% compared to last year. The Pax East game show is an emerging exhibition that started last year, in 2010 in Boston, John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Center, which attracted 52,290 participants, but the organizers received a complaint that the venue was too small to cause crowds.　　So this year's venue was replaced by the larger Boston Convention Center. "Our site this year is two to three times times the size of last year, it's great to have enough breathing space for everyone to exhibit," said Robert Khoo, trade manager at the show. "We didn't get a complaint about crowd congestion this year, and I never thought we could achieve this. "According to official statistics from the organizers, the Pax Eastern games show attracted 69,500 participants this year and has become the most popular professional game show in the United States."　　A total of seven sessions of the Pax Elite games show, held in Seattle, Washington, began in 2004 with an average annual audience of 3000 people, with a total of 67,600 people attracted by the latest show last September. Only the E3 game show in Los Angeles in 2005 attracted more than 70,000 participants, but the figure fell to 45,000 at the 2010 show, as the host ESA implemented a stricter admission policy.　　Last October, the carnival event of Blizzard attracted about 28,000 participants. In addition, only two local fairs are larger than this year's Pax Eastern games show.　　One is the San Diego International anime show held last July, with more than 130,000 attendees, and a Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show, held earlier this year, attended by more than 140,000 attendees-but both exhibitions are part of the show. Throughout the world, last year's Tokyo game show attracted more than 200,000 participants, and the Cologne games show in Germany attracted more than 250,000 people.
