RUMOR: Sony to announce they are skipping E3 later today

But that wasn't the reason they skipped last years though. Them skipping has nothing to do with leaks. Sony have had a history of leaks, so I doubt they'd get on their high horse and blame that incident.
Depends if the Celebration event that goes from January 14 - to February - 16 is lead up to reveal.
Hopefully, it would pretty much drown any negative reactions towards this. People would put the focus on that event instead.
I'm kinda sad E3 is dying. I loved watching 3 days of news and conferences, but on the other hand fuck ESA.
They don't. It's contributing to the decline of E3, but Sony will be fine.
They'll probably still do their own conference around the same time as E3, just not AT E3. This news really won't make much difference when all is said and done.
Because E3 costs them millions just to get a place on the floor. On top of that they need a theater for their show, and they need to cut trailers specifically for E3. Why do that when they also have their own show at least once a year? It's more than double the cost for something that can be done through a State of Play type thing or in a smaller, less expensive setting like their own event. It'll save them millions upon millions not to attend E3.
Im sure thats not THE reason they are skipping e3 (if the rumors true)
Can't believe Sony are going third party
:P
Na this makes sense, E3 is no longer the place to communicate your plans to the audience. Nintendo showed it with Directs and Sony have jumped on board that with their State of Play. It's no longer necessary.

I'm not sure about Feburary, but I would be shocked if they didn't have an event by the end of March.
The game developers conference is in March, and they'll be out there talking publicly about the PS5, so they'll definitely want the public fully in the loop about it by then because the things they say there will be leaked anyway.
I'm sorry, when is PlayStation Celebration? I thought that it occurred last year. If it has something to do with their theatre in NYC it's probably nothing.
AFAIK the ESA and E3 have had problems of various sorts for some time. This doxxing seems like just the latest (big) issue there. Last year was a combination of Sony's own situation wrt new game announcements (i.e. little-to-none to make ahead of PS5), and E3's already existing issues.
That said, I doubt Sony's approach this year really has anything to do with the doxxing... just an unfortunate coincidence for E3 if both these things really do pan out today.
We know they have games planned, but they don't show them... I'm anxious :p
Short sighted if true.
ESA is a way to have influence on politics.
To not support their biggest event isn't make this type of influence easier.
Same is valid for any other company doing the same.
My opinion.

They did it to themselves really. They tried to shut Devolver down in a really scummy way, and failed, and then Devolver proved you didn't need to be official at all to still generate buzz during E3.
I'd rather all three just have Nintendo direct type presentations throughout the year. Having a live performance seems useless with streaming and such today.
Honestly killing E3 is likely to make me miss a shit ton of games. As all these events get spread out amongst their own dedicated shows instead, we end up with a bloated unwatchable mess with barely anything to announce and are expected to find multiple hours just to watch a CEO talk shit for 2 hours to catch 10 minutes of announcements.
E3 meant the pressure was on to avoid doing that. Instead were getting extended PR fluff pieces as replacements.

Bullshit. I love E3 time. It's video game Christmas. I'm going to miss the flurry of coverage, the news that spills from industry parties, the Giant Bomb couch, etc. Dev Twitter is amazing during E3 too.
I think the last E3 conference I watched was like 2013 or something so yeah, can't say I'm arsed. I tend to just watch highlights of the games a day after.
Same. Regardless of Sony's potential reasoning, it's a massive blow to E3. That said, if MIcrosoft and Nintendo show up in a big way, I could see the ESA bending over backwards to dedicate more bandwidth and accommodations to them.
