CES replacing E3

If you haven't heard, click here But why? Seriously, why? I know this hasn't been confirmed, but why are they even considering this? How is this going to be any different from E3? It wasn't the ESA that wanted to downsize E3, it was the publishers. CES is already getting enough attention already. Gamespot has pretty good coverage of the event, and they don't even have huge 20 million dollar booths packed into a convention center filled with 60,000 people. So it's beyond me why they want to do this. But here's what could happen: 1) They try to go the course of E3, but publishers don't want to pay the money. 2) They make a smaller E3. I don't know how they'll do this, but it's pointless anyways if they don't get the mass media coverage. 3) They decide to ditch the idea (the best scenario in my opinion.) or 4) Some how they make it work and a new E3 is born (with better hot dogs :D. Ok so maybe this is the best scenario, but it's WAAAY out there.) I like CES for what it is. A place where companies can show off all their cool gadgets. Hell, it's not even a game show. I don't see how making it into one is going to help anybody. But hey, if they pull it off, more power to them. But even if they do, I don't see how spending millions on an event that could be spent on making games will help this industry...
