This year’s E3 was all-out crazy, thanks to Sony and Nintendo fully unveiling their consoles, and Microsoft announcing their second wave of games for Xbox 360, as well as Halo 3. Now that the event is over, ESA, the organizer, sent word that the expo had had more than 60,000 attendees, which is surprising since last year’s E3 saw more than 70,000 visitors.

Even though there were lesser people this time, E3Insider.com, the expo’s official consumer site, had attracted double the number of visitors since last year. The site received nearly 1.5 million visits during the three days of the show. It was offering DVD-quality video broadcasts, photos from the show, as well as behind-the-scenes action at the LA Convention Center where the event was held.

E3 2007 has been scheduled for May 16-18, 2007, in Los Angeles.
