anticipated franchise titles to be shown also include F-ZERO GX,

E3 Expo 2001:
One of the most anticipated video game trade event of all time, last
year's E3 saw
the true unveiling of both Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's XBOX,
Sega as a third party presenter, and the offerings of over 450
gaming companies. Show coordinators estimated a draw of over 62,000 video game executives, developers, retailers, media
representatives, investors, analysts, and enthusiasts.
E3 History:
As video game company offerings began to surpass Consumer Electronic
Show (CES) capacity in the mid '90s, the need for a major standalone
American video game convention was becoming ever more apparent. The
Interactive Software Developers Association (ISDA) realized the
demand and in 1995 organized the first Electronic Entertainment
Expo. The 1995 Expo included the display of Sony's new PlayStation and
Sega' Saturn console and was an incredible success.
