At E3 2015, there were 1,600 products on display from 300 exhibitors. 6.3 million posts pertaining to E3 were published on Twitter, Instagram saw over 7.5 million likes, and YouTube experienced more than one million video uploads.
Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of ESA, said of E3 2015’s success:
“More than any other E3, this year was about the gamer. E3 demonstrated both the remarkable transformation of entertainment taking place on all video game platforms-virtual reality, augmented reality, hardware, mobile and handheld-and awesome games. As a driving force for technological and entertainment trends across the globe, the video game industry clearly demonstrated how it is revolutionizing the way people consume, engage and interact with media. Congratulations to our incredibly creative exhibitors, members, partners and the millions of video game consumers who celebrated a spectacular E3 event.”
