Gamescom (http://joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2013): The Fünfening pushed the limits of the Koelnmesse, with attendance numbers causing shutdowns and resulting in the annual gathering being completely sold out (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/24/psa-gamescom-sold-out/). Organizers at the Koelnmesse said today the premier public gaming event's attendance reached over 340,000.
Last year's attendance stabilized (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/21/gamescom-2011-welcomes-275-000-attendees/) at a little over 275,000 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/19/gamescom-2012-attendance-over-275-000/), thanks to Microsoft and Nintendo's absense from the show. That was not the case (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/20/nintendo-returning-to-gamescom-in-2013/) this year (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/09/xbox-returns-for-gamescom-2013/). On top of that, we're heading into the next console cycle and gamers around the world are pumped.
Our annual roundup (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/19/gamescom-2012-attendance-over-275-000/) of official and unofficial stats can be found after the break. We also have six nights of Super Joystiq Podcast episodes (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/super-joystiq-podcast,gamescom-2013) to check out, all recorded in the traditional method of people who deserve better than being crowded around a microphone in a tiny German hotel room.Continue reading Gamescom 2013 attendance more than 340,000 (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/25/gamescom-2013-attendance-more-than-340-000/)
