TGS 2010 Attendance and Improvement Towards 2011
Tokyo Game Show 2010, held from September 16 to 19, had closed.
We've got many attentance this year.
How is the figure?
Here is the graph compare with last year. Figure within the bracket is visitor to kids corner.
　 2010 2009 Compare to Last Year
Business Day 1 24764 27435 -2671
Business Day 2 24229 24605 -376
Public Day 1 81469
(9221)		 61138
(9579)		 +20331
(-358)
Public Day 2 77185
(13156)		 71852
(12369)		 +5333
(787)
Total 207647
(22377)		 185030
(21948)		 +22617
(+429)
How do you think?
Business Day 1 is rainy, so less visitor. The ticket cost 5000Yen and that avoid visitor to come. Free ticket is not enough.
Such changes in this year.
How about the increase in Public Day?
Economy is bad so people just visit TGS for fun. And Kinect had been shown on TV, some may visit to see it. But kids corner don't increase much, Pokemon Black/White is more attractive than TGS huh.
I see.
Not bad this year.
Any problem?
Mircosoft's Kinect test play is a trouble.
Still complaining...
Seems they don't want to sell in Japan. What merit would they get to prevent people to try Kinect? I think they want to prevent Xbox 360 to become popular.
Impossible...
Kinect is interesting but the arrangement is disaster. They should learn a lesson from Konami's Dance Evolution corner.
Konami fight on her own.
I used to play Xbox 360 games at their empty booth, but this year is to annoying. I'm mad.
Any others?
Talk about individual stuff later.
Any expectation for next year?
They should give visitor a DVD containing all PV of all companies. We can't check every booth so we would be glad to exchange with ticket. That involve cost but worth it. Good PR.
Anyway, look forward to next year.

Kinect VS PlayStation Move Comparison

Kinect VS PlayStation Move Comparison
Have you try Kinect and PlayStation Move on Day 2?
Of course. I ran to them in the morning.
How is Kinect?
Go home, Mircosoft.
What the!?
What happen?
People can't get in...
Why?
The guide is too bad. They need 2 players to play 2 games every turn, and the press can play first. So even you line up you could hardly get in. Over 10 min and 1 person get in. Just dozens of people are lining but need to wait 130 min.
Poor...
How about the game itself?
All stupid.
Please choose another word...
Kinect Sports' response is too slow, are they looking down on Nintendo? Compare to Wii Sports, Kinect Sports is rubbish.
Have you really play it?
It's stupid to line up and waste time.
Please comment after playing....
I have played.
You just said you have not line up there...
Xbox 360 booth is crazy so I go to Konami and play Dance Evolution.
So?
Interesting.
As expected.
Well, Dance Evolution is interesting but that's not Mircosoft game. Just as interesting as the first Dance Dance Revolution.
You need to wait for test play?
Just 10 min. Just 10 people waiting though. Including playing time, after 15 min I went back to look Mircosoft line up and not even 1 person could get in.
Too bad...
Dance Evolution is great but Mircosoft has too many problem. I can only recommend them to make a PS3 version.
How about PlayStation Move?
Need to pick ticket first, and go to the test zone at the stated time. I wanted to play 3D Killzone 3 but no ticket, so I played 3D Power Smash 4 which is tennis game. Play with 3D goggle and Move controller.
How is it?
Would be better if it is not 3D.
Oh...
How about PS Move?
Response is good but nothing different from Wii. Hope other games can do better.
So, which would you recommend?
If you want simple game Kinect is ok, but PS Move's response is better. Kinnect always lose contact, the alarm message often show up to ask player return to the playing area, even he is not far away from the center.
Huh.
And Kinect need instructor to teach you, otherwise you can't play well. Wii and PS Move have a stick and you can easily understand what you can do. Of course that's a problem of game design. Dance Evolution is fine even no instruction beforehand. Good game would be more interesting, but a bad game would become rubbish totally on Kinect.
Really.
If you would buy Kinect, Dance Evolution is good choice. Or choose PS Move if there is interesting game.
