What he seems to acknowledge is that much of the frustration surrounding previous E3s over the last five years or so (and a problem endemic to all of the big three) is that E3 struggles between its dualities as a trade show (business-oriented) and the fact that it's become a gamer carnival of sorts. By dividing attention they can market the business-oriented stuff directly to the crowd most interested in that, and then optimize the impact of software announcements and gameplay exposure to the masses.
