E3 Expo, one of the world’s main events as far as videogames and pc games are concerned, will take place from the 7th to the 9th of June 2009 in Los Angeles as usual, a city that has a close relationship to the world of videogames, seeing that a great number of the inhabitants of the city use videogames and consoles like xbox 360, playstation 3 and so on K-EXPO FRANCE.
The location chosen for the E3 Expo (the name of the event stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo) is the Los Angeles Convention Center, which will turn into a sort of Mecca for all the professionals working in this field. E3 Expo, indeed, is certainly the event to take part in if you want to keep up-to-date with all the novelties in the field of videogames and technology applied to entertainment; no wonder that every year the event achieves a great success also as far as the number of visitors is concerned, attracting tens of thousands of companies and professionals specialized in this field, who are given the possibility to have a look at the future of the products for computers, videogames consoles like the playstation portable or the PS3, of the Internet and of handheld systems. Among the most interested and faithful visitors of the event, which unfortunately is not open to the public but only to professionals, there are software developers, buyers, programmers, distributors, entertainment industry representatives, importers and exporters, but also researchers, educators and print media. This year even more people than usually are expected to visit the fair: over 45,000 coming from 90 different countries. The offer will be very rich and a high-quality one also this year, seeing that professionals and companies coming from 80 different countries have already confirmed their presence.
Every year expectations are very high also because people always expect that the most important novelties of the field will be announced on this occasion. This year spotlights are on the new Wii, the Nintendo seventh-generation console, after that James Honeywell, Nintendo UK Marketing Manager, has claimed that the company will most probably present some novelties about the new Wii during the Expo. Expectations for the new product released by Nintendo are even higher because of the statements made by Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo America, who claimed that the successor of the Nintendo Wii most probably will not have 3D graphics. This choice seems to come from the conviction that the traditional stereoscopic 3D, which requires the use of special glasses, is not completely suitable for the world of videogames, and in this moment Nintendo prefers to bet on a 3D system that does not require glasses. However, we do not know yet when this will be possible, and the 3E Expo might be the right occasion to get to know more about that.
