The E3 floor plans have just been released and while we can’t read that much into things like this, the size of the Nintendo floor space is quite surprising seeing that their console is trailing by a country mile at the moment- though Geoff’s politely informed me that it’s exactly the same space Nintendo had last year.
E3 is split (mainly) into two separate halls with the console manufacturers all sharing space in the West Hall as you can see here.
You can see the big three here with Sony strangely having the smallest floor space with a large Microsoft stand on their left and Nintendo on the right. The Nintendo main space is slightly larger than the Sony spot but they also have two other booths offset to the right, which they use for admin and VIP areas.
What’s also very exciting is that Oculus Rift has a sizeable booth in the same hall which I‘m sure is making Darryn salivate already. The rest of the big publishers are in the South Hall as we can see here.
I see Konami still has a reasonably large stand even though they are struggling at the moment while Activision, Ubisoft, Warner Bros and EA all have the same size booths.
Capcom, or as E3 like to call them, Capcpom also make a solid appearance with Disney looking at being the smallest booth here.
Bethesda’s small booth leads me to believe that a rumoured Fallout 4 won’t be on show at E3 and they’ll focus more on The Evil Within and Doom, but really do we ever know what these guys are doing?
So do you see something interesting in the floor plans above that I missed? And don’t forget to stay tuned for all the breaking news from our team at E3 2014 in June.

Square enix have a booth opposite an entrance, Mirrors edge 2 demo or oneof their other games here we come.
Activision have the food court, inb4 comments on who the CoD Ghosts makers target market is. big TVs with their new DLC promo on loop and big skylander posters, but nothing new and amazing.
Ubisoft are hiding in the sides, so no demo available for the new AC game yet.

Check the exhibitor list. Sony also has 4044 and 4144. MS also has 4000.
Then again I guess this is what happens when you copy neogaf posts with no double checking.

Was actually sent to us by an avid reader :), I’m sure the small booths on the side will be the same as the Nintendo ones where they aren’t really for media but rather for sales and trade

I’m not sure providing additional information has to come in the form of being a dick, though? And, he was simply wrong about his accusations. I sent the tip in long before any of you were awake. The place I got the images from (vgchartz), didn’t have source info. Just the 2 images.
Brian Murphy
May 15, 2014 at 17:41
I actually grabbed it from VGchartz, and linked the images in the ION Section from yesterday. They had no link in the forum thread, otherwise I would’ve linked the source, just like the other bazillion articles I threw in yesterday’s ION section from various sources.
Usually LG links the source at the bottom of the article, but when the source isn’t apparent, there’s not much you can do. Next time, of course, you could simply say it was from Neogaf, and give the additional information, without being a total douchebag about it, or maybe it’s just who you are.
You are flat out wrong
May 15, 2014 at 18:10
OK then. Sorry, Gavin, I made a mistake.
Brian Murphy
May 15, 2014 at 18:30
It’s all good, just wanted to let you know that while I and many others send LG tips, and LG does their own research, I don’t think anyone here, tipsters or writers are in the habit of simply stealing peoples work. Just didn’t have a link to give ’em.
No harm, no foul. Glad we could clarify it.
Hammersteyn
May 15, 2014 at 13:53
Why does it say join us at E3 in the header, is LG planning a competition where we can win a trip to go with you 😛

Premium pass only gets you to the Sega booth, need +Pass for Activation (whose booth will only be up and running day 2) and only people who bought the pass before hand can reach the food area.
