It seems that the farther we have been going on with E3, the worst it has been, last year was only about 5,000 compared to the 60,000 average, I don't even know why they are still going on with it, It is just costing the more money and time. I know some people that remember going to E3 years back and walking out with Tons of t-shirts and free stuff but now it is just a ghost town.
How many of your are going to go, and who has gone all the years and tell us if you have a seen a major change in attendance.

It seems as though Japanese gamers are lapping up the recently released Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2. Reports are circulating that the latest Resident Evil game on the Nintendo Switch 2 is sold out at three of the biggest retailers in The Land of the Rising Sun. Those retailers are Yodobashi, Bic Camera and Yamada Denki. Coincidently, Amazon Japan has also sold out of copies of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Seems Capcom made precisely the correct decision launching the game on the platform.
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter believes the next Xbox console might be already dead due to Microsoft embracing Game Pass at $30.
You know the world is f’d up when Michael Pachter has given up cheerleading Xbox.
Wouldn't it be the case of Pachter finally agreeing with parts of us rather than we agreeing with him?
I remember vividly that back in the day when GP was introduced and shaped further, many of us were saying that it's a great service on one hand. But were also already skeptical, too, as to how Microsoft would be able to keep the service running financially in the future.
Or/and how it would affect studios and game development in general.
As of March 2026, I think we have the answers some of us anticipated back then, when it was still Pachter who had forecasted «100 million subscribers».
Likely the next Xbox will have a premium price tag so they have some profit margin on the low numbers they sell. We all know that the bulk of revenue will come from 3rd party sales on other devices and perhaps some from game pass.
