RUMOR: Sony to announce they are skipping E3 later today

Waiting on that news like.
Still can't believe they nailed Sonic in the re-design.
I mean if they have their own event packed with stuff, then I am okay with this. I always enjoyed the hype around E3, but ultimately I just want to see footage of next gen games.
Because people need to know about the games. There are too many games releasing for not having a proper hype period. And for devs to be able to speak about the games, the console has to be announced.
It would be a shame, because when I went to E3, I enjoyed having the big 3 in a same place, and try their demos and hardware. But I can see why Sony would skip it.
Honestly can't blame them.
Beyond the (honestly borderline unforgivable) data breach, E3 feels like its more of a mess each year. Hearing that Bang and GFUEL had a bigger presence at E3 2019 than some major publishers makes me think they really lost the plot somewhere.

I think the last 4-5 years we had so many events and so few content on all of them.
It is better to have a more consolidate show.
Yeah, he looks fantastic. Kinda hoping they stick with this design for the games from now on. Anywho.
E3 last yar was so forgettable. I only remember the VII Remake presentation and BotW 2 announcement.
Apple only does it for updates to existing devices. Entirely new devices are announced around 6 months in advance to avoid larger leaks. In the console space, new generations of devices are basically entirely new devices that you don't want to leak through FCC or production lines before announcing them. In the case of Apple for example, they basically don't have another choice these days then to begin production in July, to meet the demand, and risk leaks.
Should be a "both" option in the poll.
Still, if you have to "announce" that you won't be at an event, and after you weren't there last year no less, then surely that means said event must still be a big deal. Unless Sony is going to do an announcement for every event they aren't attending this year.

C'mon now, there's still a chance PS5 will be halfway decent
Not with Jim Ryan in charge. It'll be Euro friendly and fuck off o clock for the US 😂
I mean they don't... Really
The switch was announced and released on what 5 months?
And working out well for them
Well, I guess we'll this soon, then.
If they make an E3-like event instead of an actual E3 presentation, then that's fine with me.

Honestly, it makes more and more sense to ditch E3. Even for Nintendo, I'd say.
If Sony has a dedicated PS5 event it will be just as exciting. It will have the grandstanding talk, the demos, etc.

I think the thing is, a lot of us kind of hoped that they were skipping E3 last year because they didn't have anything to show.
So if they're skipping this year, when they have so much to talk about, it means they're just done with E3. And that's pretty sad.

If you think of E3 purely as an event by the ESA, run for eh benefit as the ESA, then it doesn't mean too much really.
1 Platform holders can reach markets without the help of ESA now
2 Being held to ESAs timetable in terms of when they hold the event leaves less flexibility for doing your own thing. It certainly forces your hand somewhat during a product launch.
3 You need to to share the platform with a thousand other voices, with endless nonsense about "who won E3"
4 It might end up simply being cheaper to rent space outside of E3
5 You can do a non-audience format show e.g. a Direct
6. Sony can just as easily do an event on the same scale on a different day
That said, it can also come across as "We're bigger than the rest of the industry". You need us, we don't need you".
Ideally you do both your own events AND join in with E3 as a celebration of gaming.

E3 is still happening this year and Nintendo will be there.
It's like Layden said. People have certain expectations when Sony has an event. Go with one event and go big, that should satiate people.
If E3 is approaching its own demise, there is no one to blame beside the ESA.
Sad that I won't be able to attend one of the huge E3 with all of the hype, but then again for consumers I doubt it would be that great of an experience.

I feel like E3 is still a stage they should occupy even if it isn't a focus?
A lot of people still tune in right? Basically handing it over to MSoft for the next gen reveal year feels like just handing over a free pass to Microsoft for everyone doing E3 coverage instead of competing for mindspace or whatever.
Unless they do their reveal/blow out event that runs simultaneously with E3 lol?

They dont the switch proved that much. They just do it because thats how its always been done.
