All shows eventually must come to an end; less victims of themselves and more victims of changes in the market they serve. Being boring is a crime and spending millions of dollars to shown your increasingly boring products at a show filled with lookalikes isn't interesting. In my experience, once a show encounters its natural limits nothing can revive it. I'd add the grand old NCC to your list,too, Jason.
It's a lot easier to sit in my office and read about what's being announced/shown and then ask for more about the few interesting things than to trek to Las Vegas and brave the crowds. It's also much more productive.
