Were The "Winners" of E3 Enough To Ensure Survival?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the long-in-the-tooth dept.

Now that the industry is winding down after another E3, it's time to reflect on the relative success of the show. Paul Govan reflects with a GeekDad view of the "winners" of this years show. The question is, after the attempts to scale it back to a much more exclusive event, has E3 managed to escape obscurity and defeat at the hands of up-and-comers like PAX? Highlights of the show included Microsoft's new controller-less interface, a sexier PSP, and a myriad of releases from Nintendo.

    Yeah okay, it would be entertaining to play a multiplayer game of super mario...

    You could do this on Super Nintendo! This guy in green clothes named "Luigi" could be moved with another "controller" held by your "friend".

    By friend I mean the kid down the block who always mooched off my Nintendo and smelled a little bit like pee.

    I'm sorry, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, E3 is becoming obsolete. I agree.
