E3 has that kind of attendence, because the event is intentionally made exclusive.  Again, this is a lot like saying the Oscars are not a major event, because it is mostly just Hollywood types attending.  Meanwhile, about 30m people watch the Oscars live and countless more watch highlights, red carpet footage and other similar stuff.  It is the biggest event of the year for the movie industry, because of all the eyeballs drawn in.  The actual attendance doesn't matter as much.

I did a quick Youtube search for highlights of E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show in 2018.  The highest results that came up were

E3 - 1300k
Gamescom - 79k
Tokyo Game Show - 59k

Clearly E3 is the biggest gaming event, worldwide, by a huge margin.

You know that validates the excuse for Sony not going right?

If they dropping the Logo on CES (non-gaming event) get twice as much hype than MS revealing the console at a gaming related event.

So whatever they do will still get coverage, but yes do some joke on it.

Besides, congrats on "prove my point with a quick google search, that is all the evidence you need".

Over a million people would watch Sony conference at e3. Why would they not do one? If they want to save money they can do a direct like nintendo. Maybe they can even have no showfloor and just do a direct.
