In Japan, "The Tokyo Game Show 2010" takes place from September 16 to 19 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, introducing a variety of new game software and hardware to visitors. The show marks its 20th anniversary in 2010, and a total of over 1400 exhibitor booths feature video games, computer games, digital entertainment products, mobile games, game machines, game schools, and more.

There are 194 companies represented at TGS 2010 this year. Of those, 103 are Japanese companies. Organizers also say there's a marked increase in PC-based developers and publishers. Show organizers estimate total attendance to hit 180,000 before the four-day show ends. Microsoft has just announced at the Tokyo Game Show that Halo Reach managed to bring in $200 million (USD) on day one alone, breaking all kinds of records in the process. According to VG247, Halo Reach is now the biggest entertainment product of 2010, although $200m for one day is still not enough to take down Modern Warfare 2's figure of $310m for one day sales in the UK and US combined.
It's open to the public on September 18 and 19.
