You can emphasise it as much as you like - it still isn't true. Most of the news from E3 comes via the console manufacturers, and if they're pulling out then that will significantly change the kind of news output you get from E3. Yeah, but from those who stay we probobly will get what we got if E3 was the explosive event it was. The biggest change will probobly be for those who go. We may get a little less coverage ffrom those who go but we'll get what we pay for(in a sence) This kind of makes me think of a cross between Comic-con and the Tokyo Game show.

Hm. From I've been reading, several big guns wanted the event to shrink, including Sony, Microsoft, EA and THQ. If my memory serves me right, I believe the ESA is also paying them for some losses in the event's size for next year already. I could be wrong, though. I'm going off of what I read yesterday.

It probably didn't make much sense for the console developers and major game developers to play all their cards in one 3 day press event/competition. Now they will have more control of their own marketing and press relations.
Not to say that I saw this coming, but in retrospect, we probably should have.
