CES is not having it's show at the same time for the first time ever. I think that will affect attendance a lot.
The signs that AEE is getting desperate to sell booth space has been more obvious in the last two years with random companies hawking their wares at a porn convention. There was a booth for teeth whitening with procedures being done on the show floor, another one selling sheets (not special sexy porn sheets, just standard sheet sets), and a handful of other vendors that seemed a bit out of place at an adult convention.
While I think the show will draw a large group of fans and odd exhibitionists as it does every year, it won't be near capacity as it has been in the past. Not to mention the DVD market isn't what it used to be, so I doubt the buyers will be there in hoards.
