Microsoft has booked the largest amount of floorspace for GDC 2008 (much larger than in previous years when Sony and Nintendo had larger booths). What's also interesting is that Epic is second in floorspace and has a booth right beside Microsoft's.

Here's a picture of the floorplan along with a link to an article about it:

Nintendo and Sony' booths shown for comparison:

The info is there still for comparison even though the scale is off....

MS - 4,800 square feet
Sony - 2,500 square feet
Nintendo - 1,500 square feet
Epic - 2,800 square feet
Valve - 900 square feet

Good find.

Thanks for the info, Legend.

I finally made my secondary console decision this past month: Xbox360.

Now I look forward to all 360 news I can get :)

My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):

Wii : 50 million

360: 28 million

PS3: 24 million

These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised

No problem, hopefully this merits a +1 in the user of the year poll...
