The outlandishly successful PAX (or Penny Arcade Expo) may be going international, if masterminds Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik choose to add a third show into the mix of “PAX Prime” and “PAX East”, say the duo.

And why would they consider adding a third show?

Because PAX Prime 2010 exceeded a whopping Sixty Seven THOUSAND attendees. Need numerical form? Okay here: 67,600, to be exact.

This makes it the biggest videogame exhibition/tradeshow in the United States that is open to the public. No small feat and it’s crazy when you think that the two guys who started a webcomic. A WEBCOMIC! Have created something so huge.

With there now being two shows in the U.S., the obvious extension would be a third show held internationally. Although it’s only talk, the duo states that if there were to be a third show, it’d be in a country they want to visit personally (Japan, I imagine?).

The next PAX Expo will be PAX EAST 2011.

Here is an extensive and fun look at the show floor of PAX Prime 2010.
