The real question is if this is a sign of portent about the industry as a whole (which could do with some significant downsizing, I admit), or if this is just because the major supporters ended up spending millions for what amounted to relatively weak advertising and PR. (Especially in the case of Sony this year).
Oh well. I'm sure fan-shows like PAX and the gaming section of stuff like comicon will grow to at least somewhat fill up this void. Edit: It is interesting to note though that there are theories flying about that the main groups who pushed the ESA into downsizing the show are also the ones who got the worst PR this year. People are saying that with a smaller show, you can control who has access to what content and only allow a site to have an exclusive in exchange for a positive reaction to it. I never thought of it that way, and I'd prefer not to, but it's also something that could theoretically take place. I guess we'll have to wait and see if such fears are warranted. Jam it back in, in the dark.
