Another issue that has not yet been mentioned is time. Print magazines have a 2-3 month lead time at best. I run a small Australian video games web site, and I found it interesting that we were covering E3 the major games magazine, Hyper, which came out during E3 won't have any coverage until next month.
Video games, web, and technology all move too fast for that sort of print schedule. We can have articles up in 20 - 30 seconds, with links to further information, etc.
To the poster above who said tech journalism is failing because it's just regurgitated press releases I agree. And gaming journos are on the leading edge of the leading edge of that failure. I wrote about that in my last editorial.
