It's insane how much the show has grown over the years. I mean it's more than 7 times the 2024 Oscars
And more than the Super Bowl!
imagine if Joe Biden showed up to the show and presented the NSW2 w/ Miyamoto. You’re telling me viewership would’ve gone down??
The growth continues:
2014- 1.9m

That is a massive increase!!
The show lived up to the hype in my opinion and was all around a solid show.
Congratulations to the team responsible and looking forward to the next one.
This proves that people want an E3 show. This award show is watch mainly for the game reveals. Even this year they had jokes referring to E3.
They keep getting higher views but it's keeps on getting shitter after every year,
Only onimusha was the big bombshell announcement the rest was absolute dog shiet haha
I'm surprised, but also very happy that they were able to continue to smash the viewership record. I thought it would more or less break-even with last year's number, and then 2025 would smash the record with GTA V & Switch 2. Now I'm expecting 2025 to be even higher than this 2024 number!
Was a great show, so it deserved the increase in popularity. Listened to the critique from last year (no "wrap it up" this year), even made some self aware jokes. Lots of banger announcements to rival some of the best E3 shows I can remember.
Impressive number and even after the bad press it got last year. Still think it should be about the awards and celebration of the year in gaming instead of advertising the next but whatever.
Meh, I haven't watched in years. Too boring for me, easier to just look at the announcements than to watch speeches I ultimately don't care about, see commercials, having to watch the boring concert, no thank you. Glad it's growing though for the people who love it, I remember loved watching it as a kid when it was on Spike TV.
