E3 Discussion

You're kind of on the right track, Erich. The showing off of new consoles is to try to gain interest from third-party companies and to get them to develop games for those systems.

They do present new video games and have demos for the fans as well, which is why you see things like The Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword, which have already been through the production sequence.

You're half on track there, yourself. Not every game at E3 is fully done. There's still a month or two that it might get some refinement, and a month or two up to four or five months till it finally releases.

No it isn't. E3, at the very least the conferences, are meant for the public now. 10, maybe even 5 years ago it was for corporations, now its definetly a huge publicity event. Thats why there are live streams on virtually every gaming site, for us to get a look at it. Thats why nintendo even goes as far as to make a dedicated site for e3, aimed directly at the gamers, not buisness men

Did you not read what I said? I said it's been getting more geared towards gamers, for the sake of killing two birds with one stone, but E3 is still an exclusive event. Wy would it be an exclusive event if it wasn't made for gamers, if it wasn't made for just the media? It's killing two birds with one stone. Do your homework, as i've learned to do.
