Reason being is that with E3 it gives the media a chance to evaluate the games and conduct interviews without having to deal with the tens of thousands of gamer fans around them. Thus leaving PAX (which has doubled attendance every year since its premiere 5 years ago) as the biggest public show for the gaming industry in the states.

I believe with this we will just get better quality material from the media at E3 and better quality from the developers at PAX. Having two different massive public venues, on the same coast non the less, seems excessive to me and might jeopardize on the quality given to the public.
