They could turn it from a building event into some sort of massive online extravaganza.
Think of it this way. A massive web site, perhaps done as a 3D downloadable app for wandering to "presentations" 1997 style :D, or just a traditional web page layout where one goes from thing to thing. Download demos, and with the new generation, that's doable for consoles too now, and try all the games out yourself. Watch videos on the site from various developers giving their little speeches on their games, and all of it can be done FAR cheaper.
It's one way to do it, but they may not want to work together for an event like that and just do it seperatly on their own sites, and from there the idea of doing it around the same time will fade. Eventually it's just "hey they released a demo, or an interview, let's check out both in this odd quantum event world where either one or the other has happened". You know, basically what we already have.
They cancelled the weak nuclear force.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
