Is E3 relevant anymore?

They're showing their most hyped upcoming game. Why at E3 though? Why not just do a Nintendo Direct? Answer that first please.

 

And actually, the fact that EA moved their conference to literally right next to E3 is incredibly telling. Now they'll get even more exposure from having their own event AND having a presence at E3. You can deny it all you want but you have literally done nothing to prove that E3 is dwindling, it's all been opinion asserted as fact. The only platform that's become obsolete for GAMERS, in that aspect is watching through the tv, now gamers are flocking to online streams. Which, I proved using hard data that we must take as fact, has been growing exponentially each year.

 

Why is E3 as relevent as ever? Megatons from the entire industry concentrated into one conference. 

 

What you say - E3 is irrelevant, developers can do their own thing.

What I say - you are wrong, no individual publisher or developer can garner as much views individually, and no casual viewer wants to sit through 10 separate events just to find out what the industry has in stores. E3 is bigger than any one company, it will have more press coverage than any one company, people recognize the conference, and most importantly, it will be on NATIONAL TELEVESION which has much, MUCH higher visibility to the population than any single conference could hope to muster. Let me know when EA has a conference broadcasted nationwide.

They are showing nothing else but one game. I never said E3 was irrelevant. I said it was dwindling in relevance. Look up the word "dwindle" and answer your own question.

EA not being at E3 when it used to be at E3 proves it's dwindling in relevance. There is no other factor. E3 used to have an EA press conference. E3 no longer has an EA press conference. EA is is better off for this. E3 is worse off for this. EA is more relevant for this. E3 is less relevant for this. That's math. Nothing is being asserted as fact. Learn what an opinion is. All rising streaming numbers prove is that publishers have more avenues by which to skip E3 then they have ever had before, and both EA and Nintendo are proving that they intend to take advantage of those avenues.

Why E3 is less relevant than ever? Less sources of megatons from the entire industry concentrated into one conference. That's math.

Once again, I never said E3 was irrelevant. I said it was dwindling in relevance. Look that up the word "dwindle" again for reassurance.

You know that we live in the internet age now, right? Being on TV doesn't matter like it used to. The internet matters, and that's where the bulk of their coverage will come from. Any publisher can and will get more coverage in their own conference than they would at E3. Saying that E3 is bigger than any one company, especially at this point, is an absolute joke. I bet Nintendo, and EA, and Activision are regretting their decision so hard right now because of the might of big, scary, antiquated, obsolete E3.

The problem with debating with you, is that you begin to behave rather immaturely when someone doesn't agree with what you say by making personal attacks.  It's a really big turn off.

 

Point blank, I disagree with you. Let's call it a difference of opinion.

 

And please don't assume anything about the depth of my vocabulary comprehension. I was reading at a college level in grade school.
