They're not really "conferences" in the first place anyways. They're live presentations. A bunch of presenters come on stage and showcase their products. I have never seen the media ask the people that come on stage questions after they've presented what they wanted to show.
As for them doing a prerecorded presentation vs. live. I view it as a great live presentation will always trump a great prerecorded presentation because the live presentation involves showmanship and involves the audience better than a great prerecorded presentation. You get reactions like last year's E3 where Tretton was about to speak but decided to let the audience continue its applause. You don't get that in a prerecorded event. However a poorly done live presentation is awful, awkward, and uncomfortable to watch. It's like a high risk, high reward type of situation.
Sony and Microsoft have been pretty good with their live presentations so far so I'd like them to continue it that way. However, I wouldn't mind a prerecorded event if it meant a better "conference".
