I think the degradation of the E3 into yet another professionals convention has released a lot of bottled up assets that will be allocated to the other shows throughout the year, and more to the point thanks to where the GDC sits in the years calendar it most definitely has a stronger priority position. Companies much start stating their intent for fall releases, or holiday releases soon if they want to generate enough hype to get the kind of sales they are looking for.
Perhaps thats what the GDC has been in the past, but last year the entire landscape was reworked. Now everyone has to play a game of positioning unlike before. Anyone can use any event as a media springboard not merely the E3.
