Sony being absent changes absolutely nothing about my viewing experience for E3. I have only ever watched Nintendo's presentations at E3 and that will continue to be the case for as long as Nintendo is present at E3. I think having E3 as a time frame where you can expect big reveals is nice to have something to look forward to each year, and Nintendo usually has pretty good presentations without all the nonsense I keep hearing about from other conferences. But if Nintendo bowed out of E3 too, then I'd have no reason to watch it. So as long as Nintendo is at E3, E3 will live on. Thus, I don't care what Sony does, because I never watch it for them in the first place.
