Is E3 really necessary in our day and age for the big 3?

One major component of e3 is getting to square off. You get to see what the internet thinks of the show, and who won. This is a great time for gathering information on what the consumers found interesting, especially how they feel the consoles stack up against each other.

Or, you know...GAMES! Who needs this WWE nonsense with it really?

er, that's what I meant by the consoles, the console offerings.

A console is only as strong as its games. So, if M$ and Sony only talk about their new consoles  at E3 and no actual games, you'd be okay with that?

no,no, you're getting confused with the wording. Console offerings is the games.

When we have an e3 thread, saying Sony won, or ps3 won is pretty much interchangeable. Even though it was games we were looking at, it's reasonable to say that the 'consoles were pitted against each other', so to speak.
