E3 is fine, claims the group that runs E3

This is fine: That’s the tone of a press release out of the Entertainment Software Association today. The organization, which operates the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show, is dealing with the news that Sony won’t bring PlayStation to E3 2019. And that is making many people wonder why they would even care about E3 at all. To address those concerns, however, the ESA published a statement and some comments from some of its largest remaining partners.

In its press release, the ESA says the show must go on. It pointed to the success of E3 2018. That show had a record of 2.9 million concurrent viewers on Twitch and 15 million tweets. But Sony drove some of that attention. The ESA recognizes the importance of those bigger companies. It is playing up the participation of both Nintendo and Microsoft.
