“I don’t think the investors give a sh*t about our quality. They care about our earnings per share. They wait for it to happen. We had three years where we didn’t make our expectations. If I were an investor, I would wait and see. That’s fine with me.” - Electronic Art’s CEO, John Riccitiello

While some people may not believe Riccitiello’s statement, I certainly do.  It’s sad that video games have gotten so mainstream that quality may no longer be a primary concern for the companies.  I see the gaming industry becoming more and more like the Hollywood movie machine every day.

In this set of pics I’ve narrowed down the booth babes, to where the idea first originated, Japan.

I honestly think E3 Media and Business Summit would still keep the popularity that made the formerly known Electronic Entertainment Expo.. well.. um entertaining.

Fines have been posted to those companies which sponsor the Booth Babes for up to $5,000. I’m not sure why the fine, maybe M.A.D.D. had something to do with it. It’s a shame that the web will not be smothered with Booth Babes in 2008, so let’s enjoy the past years babes! We welcome our Japanese readers.

After the break check out all 70 Booth Babes pics!
