It has been as strong as the trade show before, but "E3"'s scale is reduced substantially this year, due to the policy of specializing in business.

lol It's changed since Aerith said that! Bear in mind currency rates change frequently:

1,000.00 JPY = 8.56 USD = 4.40 GBP = 10.93 AUD = 10.07 CAD = 6.50 EUR
1,200.00 JPY = 10.28 USD = 5.28 GBP = 13.11 AUD = 12.09 CAD = 7.80 EUR
