RUMOR: Sony to announce they are skipping E3 later today

E3 needs Sony much more than Sony needs E3
Future is their own events like Nintendo do, Apple, Samsung all big tech companies.
I'm thinking that if they're saying they're out of E3 they will also say when they'll have their own event?
They don't need E3. They can have their own shows and it will be the same result.
Just a Sony or MS event is boring to me though, I think it's more memorable and electrifying when we're jumping from conference to conference a day or hours apart. The discussions and reflection on all new content is highly enjoyable.
I know that this is probably the right move, but a good E3 is such a great way to start off the Summer
For an industry composed of such talented and smart people, splurging on E3 was always the stupidest moneysink of an idea one can conceive. It just makes so much more sense to do your own events on your own terms.
E3 is a sinking ship. This isn't surprising.
Get ready for the big three to give you all the information directly from the source from here on out.
Gonna miss those theater showings, though, ngl.
The poll is pointless if we don't know where PSX is taking place. If it's in the US then it makes zero difference to me. A conference is a conference.
E3 has been flailing since the year after the PS3 and Wii launched. It hasn't stabilized or found its footing again. I'm sure something else will replace it in time, but yes, I believe E3s days are numbered, and in Sony's position I would do the same thing.
Stupid...especially in the year of a new console release. But they will obviously be fine due to their sizable, loyal fanbase. Information spreads so quickly nowadays, people will still learn everything they need to know about PS5.
Yeah I miss those times. I guess this makes sense for Sony, but can't help but wish for the old days.
They weren't there last year, we still got great announcements. It's a bummer but what can you do.
Oh shit, i remember this lol. Us in the GMT zone don't have it easy
Not a chance they wait til summer.
Sure they don't need E3, but is putting on their own event really going to save them money? Why not be a part of the biggest gaming spectacle there is?
Fine with me. If E3 can't find a reason to exist outside of giant press conferences to give them attention, it doesn't need to exist.
"We are skipping E3 this year"
Everyone boos
"But we are hosting our own event next month on this date for the official reveal of the PS5"
Complete meltdown, tears of joy, a new wave of memes are born in anticipation
Im hoping this is how it goes.

Yesssss, kill E3 so we don't have to wait until halfway in the year to see new game announcements all the time
I'm starting to think this becomes a trend, but if E3 does die out, I feel like that hurts Nintendo the most. Sony and MS have the press connections and the clout to run big worldwide press events. Nintendo will run their directs and fly out press/influencers for smaller events, but that's about it. And even then, it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but news from Nintendo delivered once per quarter feels bare bones, especially when you consider the special place in the industry they have, and where Sony and MS can continue to put out a steady stream of information.
That said, we could always see Nintendo drag Spaceworld out of mothballs. They do a lot of Nintendo fan events in Japan and the UK still, but for whatever reason they haven't done it in America. Probably because our country dwarfs the other two.

It's not about saving money. They can just as easily have their own show, control their own message and do it on their time. The point of E3 is pretty much gone thanks to the internet and social media.
nothing stops them form doing there own event. heck i think there is a rumor that they will doing one around feb 14. like i said they dont have to do a conference they are not forced to. But a lot of people go to e3 now that its public that its stupid to not be on the floor especially during a console year
