CEA: No-go for their gaming event |
Ó
With next year's ESA-sponsored E3 Media and Business Summit now set for July 11-13 in Santa Monica, California, another electronics entity has just tossed in its two cents regarding this highly expected (and downsized) event. The Consumer Electronics Association has recently annnounced that in light of the new provisions for next year's upcoming E3, they would be backing down from staging their own '07 video game -centered event, even as their own Consumer Electronics Show was to be staged in Las Vegas, January 8th to 11th.
"Although the CEA was prepared to launch a new event, the recent announcement by ESA that it would open its event to both ESA and non-ESA members and would include PC and wireless gaming, led us to conclude that a new spring West Coast event would likely not serve the best needs of the industry," said Karen Chupka, CEA events and conferences senior VP.
CEA was quick to point out, though, that they were not chucking the idea entirely out the window, and Chupka had this to say regarding this: "At this point we will continue dialogue with the industry to determine if the need for a broader gaming event exists for 2008."
A case of letting sleeping dogs lie? With the E3's highly debated revisions leaving the usual fanfare out of the event, it can only be assumed what CEA's plans are in the near future, with respect to their outlook on gamers.
