With the little feedback, I wondered if E3 was a success for Frontier ?
E3 was a success ?

I do not see how it could be a failure. It was a fairly large "event" with world wide coverage, and Frontier made headlines on many PC gaming news sites (not only about Elite either but also their new Coaster game).
Part of the cost in making a game is advertising it. To me E3 is a nice advertising platform.
but that being said, I am just guessing.

For Xboxers, certainly. For us, might as well not have existed.
Wasn't it a re-announcing of the coaster game?
Well, they can't use a keyboard hence why they bought an Xbox

E3 was incredible.
It was as if I was watching myself having my own first reaction to this game, over and over, with each member of the press I got to demo the game to. Be it on XBox, PC, or using the Rift, I watched one jaw after another drop again and again.
Elite got revealed to a lot of folks that didn't know all about it yet, got some great attention, and got to announce some new features incoming, as well as a "oh SURPRISE!" moment in revealing XBox access was available "RIGHT NOW" on the preview program.
Can't wait to do it again, if they will have me. Here's to many more

Well, apart from all that lovely cash that will be generated from Xbox sales that will be pushed back into development of the game for the benefit of all of us. And the news that CQC will be coming to the PC later this year. Absolutely nothing.
I was quite disappointed no ED PC news came from E3.
Newsletter #79 kinda told us that there would be 'some' news from it, instead of the regular newsletter.
Having said that, E3 in general was pretty pointless - only 1 game impressed me (Star Wars Battlefront), everything else was "meh", or "seen it before".

I think in regards to the Xbox side it may have been. I've seen a large number of introductions from console players.
E3 summary:
- Xbox One users = success!
- PC users = failure in the short term, success in the long term (see below)!
- FD = success (more revenue from Xbox users)!
