Well, then you are gonna be blown away. There were actually 1000 times more than that at Gamescom.

No, you're wrong 360ICE

340.000

Clearly that's a decimal. Hence, 340 people.

Boy, you would ALL be blown away if you read the article. N4G just goes easy on you. Warms you up. The really messed up numbers are one the source page. There are commas all over the place.

Yeah it was insane! That main hall was a nightmare to navigate through. You had to go with the flow of traffic or get crushed.

The Problem with Hype

"Think of the last E3, or the last Gamescom, or the last Tokyo Game Show. What was the main thing shown at the press conferences held there? The trailers, gameplay videos, and everything else shown are done so to get you excited about a certain game that they want you to be more interested in. If the trailer is well-done and people like it, the hype of the game goes up and people talk about it more and more. But what happens next? More trailers and details for the game are released, just hyping you up more until the game comes out. But sometimes, when the game comes out, it’s not everything you expected. It’s not as fantastic as you had hoped. It’s not all that it’s hyped up to be. "
