Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the video game industry trade group that organized the annual E3 convention that was recently downsized and received some negative reviews this year, has confirmed that it will hold the event in 2009 and said changes may be made to suit its members, GameSpot reports. Noted game analyst Michael Pachter's review of last weekend's E3 was that the event is "headed for extinction." "As we do every year, we're beginning the process of surveying exhibitors and attendees to determine potential changes to the Summit," an ESA spokesperson told GameSpot. "Once this is completed and shared with the ESA's Board of Directors, we will make an announcement about the specifics of the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit, which will occur."
