E3 is dead. Is CES next?

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, perhaps the most over-the-top, bombastic event ever to be designated an industry trade show, is no more. E3 was a staple of the video game calendar for over two decades, showing off the latest and greatest in gaming hardware and software every summer. But it's been officially declared dead by the ESA, in the wake of diminishing trade shows worldwide post-Covid pandemic. E3's demise wasn't exactly shocking, since it hasn't held a live, in-person event since 2019. But the closure of such a high-profile event has some people wondering: Is CES, the electronics industry's most high-profile event, next on the chopping block?
