lol I agree and actually implied that in the following lines, but maybe you quoted me before before I finished editing
Warning: NaCL warning.
Because i like E3. It's a celebration for all gamers. Every gamer should be upset.
Good idea. I will be sure to preface every post of mine with that warning.
I wasn't a problem with ps4 and earlier consoles, why is it a problem in 2020 ?
I don't think this is the reason for their decision. I don't see how they could have so little to show that they can only hold one event. They have been working towards the next gen for a very long time.
I think there is another reason but what it is i don't know and who knows if we will find out.
Because it ain't 2013 anymore? I mean, that product reveal model was outdated in 2013 already, by Sony's own admission. Also, just because "it worked" the last time, doesn't mean there aren't better ways to do it.
I mean, there's a reason why Apple stopped attending these trade and consumer events completely. Think about it.

I'm pretty good with a slide whistle if they wanted to add some class to the event.
I'm hoping for a big blowout event. It's more fun that way!
But, the year is young and we'll find out everything sooner or later.

That's good to hear. I love E3 but if Sony and Microsoft dropped out, it might not be worth watching.
So.. let's be honest. MS had 40 million plus people watch their Series X reveal at the Game Awards.
Not even 10% of that will watch their blowout at E3.
They should be smart, have their own events before E3 and maybe just be in attendance to let people play Series X games..
With what Sony has done though... how does this all fit into Sony Execs descending into San Francisco?
I'm expecting PlayStation Meeting invites before the end of the week. There must be a strategy to all this..

Microsoft is probably trying to show up to ALL major events and they could even do their own if they wanted? More advertising all around is always better. They could have their cake and eat it too if they wanted.
You don't mix good PR and bad PR if you can avoid it.
You get out the bad news then let the cycle end and then do the good news .
If they talk about the PS meeting people would also be talking about cancel E3 the same time .
So it's best to avoid that .
They could, but in marketing, there are windows of attention spans, and oversaturating your message (especially if you're saying the same thing at every event) could end up leaving a negative vibe with potential clients.
They're smarter than that, they will go to strategic events. I guess only E3 is in question. And Jason seems to think theres organizational reasons for Sony doing this. I wouldn't be surprised if MS pulled out if E3 too, had maybe have two seperate shows in the US (like they did with MTV in 2005)and then focus on shows in Europe (Gamescom), at the same time in the US, have actual units in all MS stores, GameStops, Best Buys etc. by June.
Then hype it up they way the big 3 usually do post E3, you know product placement here, there, hey look, Jimmy Fallon has a Series X in his briefcase kind of thing.
The last PS Meeting was a month before GoW Ascension and a couple months before TLoU.
When was the last time they had a booth? They're doing their own thing again, outside e3, like last year.
This. As soon as this is out the way, we will see invites go out.
And then they laid off a bunch of employees right after E3 was over.
Let's not get carried away now. They could be planning a huge PS event to properly show off the console and features. At least I hope that's what they are doing.
While you're right, it still really sucks what's happening with E3. I'd always take the week off and soak in all the news and excitement. Now there's one less reason to be excited. =(
Honestly this is what Sony should have done instead of outright skipping E3.
If MS cancels E3. I'm gonna be mad. I'm gonna stop playing game pass for a week. Hope their MAU takes a tumble. lol
Sony will reveal the PS5 during Superbowl. 100 million viewers. they will use either the savings from the cancelled E3 conference or take out a loan from wells fargo since they are strapped for cash.
the teaser will be 5 seconds long and will re-reveal the logo.
Am I the only one who thought flute=APU rather than the flute guy from the 2018 presentation?
Sony's secret weapon is more Wired articles. Alot more. Just a joke. don't kill me.
I really want to know what head honcho over at Sony decided to cancel two PSX events and two E3's in a row.
There's a difference between not going to an event because you have nothing to show vs being radio silent on big events since E3 2018.

How is a celebration of gamers when so few people go there? For reference:
If we are in a situation where Sony thinks that E3 is irrelevant, is E3's fault.
I'm selling my car, a kidney and my semen as we speak. Now I just need to come up with another 500 bucks and the PS5 will be mine! 😃
As a Music Producer, I can definitely understand where Sony is coming from. And if what was said about Sony and ESA having differences being true, all the more to go along with this.
For years, I've been told, "Why not make your own label? Why not release independently?" I always wanted to stick to the guys who can push my material out to via their Brand that is seen by thousands. While in theory it does work with many Artists, you can't help but feel somewhat held back because you have to play by someone else's rules. Within their boundaries. So yeah, Sony broke out of that mold and are doing their own thing. Granted they have the means to do it and they have been doing it forever. I just think now especially, they really want to take this on a global scale and not just make it some annual presentation.
As for me, there's a series out media outlets to showcase my music to others. You keep everything 100%. The tracking of data, the royalties. All of it. I think that's a good enough of an analogy here; even if it's small.
A great man once said something that resonates well here:
