2010 CES Gaming Showcase to grow 50 percent photo

The Consumer Electronics Show does have plenty of gaming news coming out of it, but for the past several years I've attended, I can tell you that almost none of it comes out of the event's Gaming Showcase. Going to the company booths elsewhere gets you more, and a lot of companies show their wares away from the crowded show floor. The Gaming Showcase itself is usually pretty sad in comparision.

I think they're trying to fix that. CES has just announced that the size of the Gaming Showcase will increase by 50 percent when CES hits this January. They will have 13,000 square feet of floor space dedicated to gaming. The press release doesn't really say much in the way of what will actually be shown there. I hope we get a bit more than gaming chairs this year. 

We'll be at CES next year to either report on or make fun of what comes out of the Gaming Showcase.

How much of that percentage will comprise of booth babes?
I know I'm not the only one thinking that. Right?

I've been to CES, and I've seen the amount of floor space dedicated to gaming, and there is little to no representation for console gaming as in most cases, console gaming accessories are the only thing that will comprise most of that space. Sure, you have Sony and Microsoft showing off a limited selection of PS3/Xbox titles, and their latest hardware revisions, but that's about it.

You do not go to CES for games. You might go there to see third party accessories, but that's it. If I recall correctly, their gaming section is probably 3200 sq. ft... about the size of a large Starbucks. Now, as a PC gamer, there is some interesting stuff to check out. Nvidia, Asus, MSi, Lian-Li, ATi/AMD, Coolermaster, etc. will definitely be able to show you what to expect in the coming years.

CES is mostly hardware based. And therefore dull.
