Every major game convention appeals most to it's region's "traditional" genre of game.

E3, is now the west. They specialize in big announcements for the west regarding games, and releases typically involving shooters and as of late "family" gaming.

Leipzig is the European convention. Generally there's a range of games debuting here. I'd actually say it has the widest range of coverage, but form what I've noticed isn't so much centered around new announcements, but showcasing things we already knew about and offering more depth.

Tokyo Game Show is where the RPGs and Fantasy games are. This is the one where all the major Asian Developers (Nintendo, Sony, Square, etc) show off their games. This is the show to go to/pay attention to if you're after games like Final Fantasy XIII, Star Ocean 4, White Knight Story, etc.

At least from what I've noticed.
