[@GIBiz] Confirmed: PlayStation will not be attending E3 2020
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
Probably want the announcement to be in its own media release, get the junk news out of the way
That sucks for sony fans. Hopefully theyll still do their own event around the same time as E3. I dont care if everything is under the "E3" banner or not, I just want everyone to announce new things all around the same time.
Nintendo never actually left E3, guys. They stopped doing E3 press conferences because their last one was so shit, but they still have a huge floor presence. Despite still having a press conference Microsoft's foot is further out the door since they do their floor showcases at the Microsoft Theater. It seems like Sony is straight-up gone, both in press conference and floor presence.
Hopefully skipping means that they have legitimate alternate plans, like their own show or Nintendo Direct like output, and not because they don't have the announcements to justify attending E3 like 2019? It's not readily clear from that PR, but then again, those are things you typically don't announce well in advance anyways.
Very disappointing. I really enjoy E3 and all the hype and announcements around it, Sony not being there (along with EA and Nintendo no longer having proper conferences) is a huge omission. E3 really is a shadow of its former self.
Here's hoping their inevitable own conference competes with the quality of some of their past E3 conferences, because the State of Plays have been comparatively underwhelming.

I never understood the obsession with all the information dropping at one event where half of it gets completely lost in the noise. It's an out of date model and doing separate presentations is better.
same. My friends and I would all get together and have a party and watch it. One of the rare times we all got together
Meh.
Given they're launching a new console, it's hardly a big deal. The hardcore gamers that want new hardware at launch will follow them where ever they go for the info.
Not sure it's in their best interest in the long-term though. I still run into people that think Cyberpunk is only coming out on Xbox, simply because it appeared on stage at the Microsoft presser during E3. Something to be said for the mainstream news coverage I guess.

Because they will announce the system like the PS4...it's own event.
Yeah that's what has me laughing a bit, because people were crying NINTENDOOMED because Nintendo was "abandoning e3" despite still having a huge presence and then Sony actually abandons e3 and nobody is suggesting that Sony is doomed
Nintendo does their own thing, Sony does their own thing, C'mon Microsoft just pull away from E3 too so the entire event can go bye bye.
The concept of all the major game companies getting together for a week of announcements and demonstrations is great, but I've heard nothing but bad things about what it's like to actually go and/or present at E3.
Oh man! What up!
Met so many old place/ResetERA folks at E3, too. I'll always have a lot of great memories.
And there we go.......
Sad man.
E3 was the BEST time of the year. I waited all year for it. So many special times.
Sony was a GIGANTIC part of that. Like 50% of the reason I cared about E3.
I was hoping MAYBE 2019 was just a one off thing. But 2 years in a row with the PS5 coming? They are fucking done with E3, and with it, my enthusiasm for it has been reduced drastically.
