LOS ANGELES: E3 – the annual celebration of all things videogaming in Los Angeles – was born out of a bit of consumer electronics ignorance nearly a quarter of a century ago. 

But the reason big videogame news remains absent from CES these days is more about the medium’s evolution than that decades-old snub. Hardware is beginning to fade into the background for consumers of games as the creators in the medium focus more on the art it delivers than the technology that drives those creations.
