Could the CES be the next E3?
By: Avinash Bali   |   Aug 12, 2006
Since the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) may not be happening from now on, the gaming industry needs another show to fill that empty void, and that show could very well be the Consumer Electronics Show, held annually at Las Vegas.

"Since ESA decided to eliminate the E3 event in its known format, we have been deluged with inquiries on whether we could fill the tradeshow needs of smaller video entertainment companies. Our executive board met yesterday and unanimously asked staff to explore ways that we can help the gaming community." said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CEA (Consumer Electronic Association).

He further goes on to state, "A major goal of this advisory committee is to generate gaming community feedback on how best to meet the needs of the industry. As long as there is desire and commitment, we are ready to service this community and will begin looking at venues in Las Vegas and Los Angeles and for appropriate partners. Should the committee recommend we move forward, we would design an event which is consistent with CES quality."

So if all works out, expect an extremely crowded CES full of sweaty geeks and booth babes galore.
