Predicton: E for All will be merging with E3 and soon

We all know that E3 didn't go too well this summer. We all know that E for All was far from a mob scene.  We know that IDG runs both E3 and E for All. We know that Kotaku has reported that the ESA is considering opening up E3 to the public next year. Asked about the future of E for All, an IDG rep said that the company would have announcements about future events soon.

Given all that, it seems entirely logical to me that IDG and the ESA will be announcing they are merging the two events in some way next summer. Maybe they'll say it's E3 for the industry for a day or two and then open it up to the public and call it E for All for a few days. Maybe it'll be E for All in one public section and E3 in a separate private section. Either way, it's essentially killing off the unsuccessful E for All expo and improving the troubled E3 by making it a Tokyo Game Show or Leipzig-like partially public event. But it sounds nicer by saying they're merging, doesn't it?

Of course, maybe I'm totally wrong. This is just an educated guess.
