As of 2007, E3 is invitation-only, meaning that instead of around 60,000 attendees at E3 there were only around 3,000-5,000. The reason for this change is to allow for a more intimate atmosphere where business will be emphasized. A separate conference called '''Entertainment for All Expo''' has been created to accommodate the public demand for a major, annual video game event.


Many games (and consoles) have been and will continue to be announced at E3, including [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], which were both announced at E3 2006.
