The '''Tokyo Game Show''' (東京ゲームショウ), or simply '''TGS''', is a video game expo / convention held in Tokyo, Japan.  In 2007, it will likely become the largest video game expo in the world because of the downscaling of [[E3]] that was announced in mid-2006.[http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/mag.dyn/News/10951.html] Unlike E3, the Tokyo Game Show allows the general public to attend during the final two days.[http://tgs.cesa.or.jp/2005/english/admission.html] As a result, it has much higher attendance than E3.

The Tokyo Game Show (東京ゲームショウ), or simply TGS, is a video game expo / convention held in Tokyo, Japan. In 2007, it will likely become the largest video game expo in the world because of the downscaling of E3 that was announced in mid-2006.[1] Unlike E3, the Tokyo Game Show allows the general public to attend during the final two days.[2] As a result, it has much higher attendance than E3.

History

The first Tokyo Game Show was held in 1996.[3] It used to be held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn, but this format was discontinued in 2002, when the show was held only in the autumn.[4] This is the schedule for the show used to this day.
