The Electronic Entertainment Expo 1995 (E3 1995) was the first E3 event to take place.
E3 came into existence following the gaming industry's growing dissatisfaction with CES. While CES was happy to host gaming companies, preferential treatment was given to electronics giants, with video games relegated to outside tents away from the main hall. With the industry becoming larger and more elaborate with each passing year, a decision was made to run a gaming-specific convention in the spring. The major players still attended Winter CES 1995 (in January 1995), but big plans (namely the US launches of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation were not publicly discussed), and combined with the rainy weather that year, made for a less exciting atmosphere than in previous CES conventions.
CES was a bi-annual event at this point in time, and 1995 would be the year its "summer" expo would be pulled due to declining visitor numbers. E3 could be a considered a replacement for this, as gaming companies typically had products to show (or at least announce) in anticipation of the following Christmas season.
E3 1995 is infamous as it marks the surprise US launch of the Sega Saturn, and an immediate scramble to reduce the console's price to compete with the PlayStation, which announced a $299 price tag just hours later. Meanwhile much of the show itself contined to be dominated by the Sega 32X, which the Saturn would make obsolete.
