I don't believe that most people (as part of the American Consumerate) know what Steve Jobs does and therefore will not be affected by his decision to not attend Mac World and thereby not do his schtick selling new products and convincing us that we desire them. Most American consumers get their info from friends and television and, to that degree, are probably more influenced by the ads with Mac Guy and PC Guy.
