Do you want Sony or Microsoft to do a "digital event" instead of an E3 press conference?

A lot of Nintendo fans seem happy that Nintendo is going the Direct route and skipping out on a press conference again, I'm curious if Sony and MS fans would support a move like this as well. 

Happy as in "rocking back and forth saying that it is ok and simply a change" rather than the result of a huge failing on Nintendos part.

More happy as in "prefering to watch a Digital Event, seeing a Smash tournament, and go play E3 demos near where I live than watching guys in suits explain why x game is "next gen" and needing reassurance of my console purchase through people clapping over a game I know will more than likely be a cut and paste third or first person shooter that gets 70's or 80's scores by critics. It won't matter what they score it though, as long as they say how "awesome" it looks at E3." That kind of happy.

You're forgetting the second audience at E3 - the investors. Big games need big money and need that few hours free advertising to the world. To decline that with a closed door event is abusrd and asking for stocks to take another battering.

Yes, E3 demos are a great idea other could certianly benefit from, however at the cost of closing it off to those who have NOT bought the console? That is economically stupid.
