Either way, it's the biggest event. Just like E3 is the biggest gaming event. The same amount of people might not tune in a day or two of the three, but still usually the most eyes are on companies at E3. 

Biggest event doesn't neccessarily mean best event, most eyes may be on the event but then the are more companies, announcments and so on to compete with.

Not aimed at you but the problem with people on forums and those harping on about E3 is that most of this mob ironically fail to acknowledge the times have changed around them (a criticism they aim at Nintendo), E3 itself is not needed to generate interest as we've entered the age of on the fly streaming and social media.

I do think that E3 is still an important time. I think what you refer to as far as social media and company specific events are the future of said E3, but I think having a time frame where all companies come together and show everyone their plans for the next year will never be irrelevant. 

But I'm fine if we disagree on that.
