In 2006 E3 was open to press and the public, with 60,000 attendees. In 2007 it was invited-press-only and had 10,000 attendees. In 2008, only 5,000 attendees. [1]
Meanwhile, PAX had 9000 attendees in 2005, and 58,500 by 2008 [2]. The most recent attendance figures I can find are 2011, with 70,000 attendees reported.
E3 later changed back to being open to the public; in 2014, their attendance was 48,900. So far from completely dead as a show.
