E3 is dawning a lot of controversy, if that is the right word for it, regarding its future. on one hand, E3 2018 had one of the biggest crowds that they had in years, but the idea of E3 is becoming a bit obsolete. Sony is already spoken for. Nintendo could easily just do their own thing and have a huge Direct in the middle of summer followed by Treehouse, etc, without the restraints and costs of E3. and Microsoft is in a position to do whatever they want, pretty much whenever.
