There aren't many announcements anymore, and even Nintendo has stated they plan to do their big announcements at another time. Their plans are for an extended length Direct focused on the rest of the year. Gamescom is the most popular show of the year, and is now multiple times bigger than E3. While E3 gets under 50K in attendance and 200 exhibitors, Gamescom saw 345,000 people, including more than 6000 journalists, and over 700 exhibitors from 88 countries. |
Because E3 used to be a press only event and still has limited access to the public. E3 is still the home for the biggest conferences and reveals.
