I don't think so. The impression I got was that 3rd Edition actually increased the popularity of Shadowrun again, taking it away a bit from the classic cyberpunk genre and more into the low sci-fi/near future corner, adding updated tech, storyline development and (to my taste) a whole heap of unnecessary numbers and rules to increase the options for a character multifold while leaving actual character development buried by the same numbers.
Brought in a lot of people that simply love playing and fiddling with numbers on top of those that love playing a simple ruleset.
