Still boo hooing the death of E3? So is Ashcraft. That's the last time he'll be able to get away from his wife on Gawker dime, lemme tell you.

Anyway, "Why, God? Why?" you might be asking yourselves. Next Generation fills in for that imaginary man who lives on a cloud and gives you ten good, solid reasons why E3 was put down like the dog it was:

When I spoke to some people about E3's collapse, the general response was one of disbelief. How could something so big fall apart so quickly? Perhaps this is why so many news outlets simply refused to believe the news. The fact is that all it took were a very small number of company presidents to talk with each other, and figure out that if they all decided to pass, none of them would need to be there. Once Nintendo, Microsoft, SCEA and EA had stepped out, E3 was history. It was multilateral disarmament.

Of course, they leave off the number one reason that E3 was cancelled: the stench. Florian Eckhardt
