Fair enough. I just have a problem with the word "bit". It doesn't help winning E3.

E3 winners are the "best of" types ("crème de la crème"), not the "bit of everything" ones. A bit of good with a bit of bad and a bit of mediocre is not as good.

The best is subjective though.  

GTA V, Uncharted 4, LittleBigPlanet 3 and Grim Fandango are all considered good games.  

GTA V got a 97 metacritically, and sold millions upon millions of copies.  Though it is a game already released, it is a pretty major one.  

Uncharted 4 is the fourth title of a major series, each doing incredibly well critically and sold millions of copies.  

LittleBigPlanet, while not as big at the market as either of the above two games, its previous titles did very well critically.  LittleBigPlanet got a 95 on metacritic.  

Grim Fandango, wasn't a huge title sales wise at all, but critically it was well recieved at the time.  And achieved a 94.  

While these games may not be interesting to you, they are huge.  GTA V, even though it is an older, is almost certain to sell a few millions of copies on the new platform.  All four of these games and a few others are almost certainly considered creme de la creme, even if they didn't generate much buzz with most people.  There is another market on the side that doesn't watch E3, that will probably be quite excited by GTA, for example.  

One could argue that all the E3s were a bit of good, with a bit of bad, with a bit of mediocre.  

You miss the point. The best is subjective when it comes to game A or B appealing to different tastes and audiences.

But I'm not considering my tastes when assessing the E3. I'm just focusing on objective parameters like a full game being more relevant than a DLC. I don't need to tell everything all over again. I've already listed all the points. I'm acting as a neutral spectator rather than a game consumer with my own preferences.
