October is bad because with the exception of new console launches gamecos will have demos online for all holiday games, and there will not be another console launch for a while. So more or less it will be an early release party for the games, and a full year+ ahead demos. Also alot of stuff will be at Tokyo, and little changed. Besides, the key thing that made e3 special was launches, but no one is going to want to launch for the holidays in october, and everyone wants to launch for the holidays.
It isn't all bad, but it will more or less be a release party, and I imagine a lot of companies won't even use it as the primary release party, as they have to compete.
