E3 2018 had the largest attendance for an E3 since 2005. Every E3 press conference except EA broke their peak concurrent viewer record from last year on Twitch. E3 is bigger than ever. Sure there are more events throughout the year to showcase games at, Gamescom, Paris Games Week, multiple different PAX's, The Game Awards, etc., and of course for Nintendo, the other Direct's throughout the year, but E3 is still the best place to announce games in terms of maximizing the number of people who will see your announcement. |
In my view it's less about E3's relevancy and more about Nintendo not wanting to share the spotlight or be overshadowed when they reveal games.
