E3 2021 may be over, but now the time has come to debate just who won the show. There were a lot of hopes this year given last years absence due to the global pandemic and sadly for most…the show seemed to underperform due to certain publishers not making the most of the time given to them. However, when looking at the “Peak Viewship” of the presentations, the Nintendo Direct during the show was the overall winner by a large margin. Here are the results:

It honestly isn’t too hard to see why this was the case. The Nintendo Direct had the biggest announcements, wasn’t afraid to show the games first and talk about them later via the Nintendo Treehouse presentation, and used almost every minute of their 40-minute presentation to go and do the best they can for viewers.
And by the sounds of the reactions online, those 3.1 million viewers agree that Nintendo won E3 2021.
