E3 2014 By The Numbers
This year saw an interesting turn in the number of attendees and exhibitors at E3. There were more attendees than last year but fewer exhibitors.
2013 saw 48,200 people attending the show. It was up by 700 this year with 48,900. However, there were only 200 exhibitors as opposed to 230 the year before.
The records for most attendees sit with 1998 and 2005 as each had 70,000 people go to the expo. E3 will be returning next summer from June 16-18.

Our Take
It's interesting that we didn't see as many exhibitors this year, but I doubt it's anything detrimental. I suppose it could be that many are sitting out this year to tool around with the new consoles. If that's the case, we may see a resurgence of even more exhibitors come 2015.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
