When you go to E3. You will recognize the magnitude of each hall, though I know from your perspective...you'd think "oh, MS is bigger than both of them in terms of money...they should have the bigger booth..."

Mr. Furious: Noble assumption, and logical thinking but sorry, history has shown over the past year and this year...they do not have the bigger booth.

not at all. there's a lot more companies for them to share with. last year it wasn't that big either.

Nintendo's are always cool cause they're closed off, so the only way to see inside is to go inside. it's likea seperate party every time.

Heh. I like the way Nintendo's booth is constructed. This time I wanna get in one of their giveaways.

to show off the games that they started making, and to have tanks laying around.

dunno if they're there to recruit though. would be a huge waste of their time if they were though.

Why does the layout look exactly as it does every year? Because, I think, companies sign four or five year contracts with the IDSA (probably more) to get a discount. Microsoft probably signed a contract to show their games in that area a loooong time ago, ditto with Sega (even if they dont need that space anymore), Nintendo, and Sony. So there you go.

Ah hah, but the south hall is larger than the west hall so it's hard to gauge the scale. I'd say that it's close to Sony's size yet shaped differently. It may still be smaller but I think it's close.

nope. the Microsoft booth is actually pretty small. seems bigger compared to last years though.

Well it wasn't my assumption, it's what one of GameSpot's staff said. I don't know why he would lie about that, so I dunno
