It was rumoured but never verified.

Proof that Sony is resting on their laurels.

Microsoft won't have a conference too.

Makes sense, now they can save everything for TGS and PGW. Then they can really make a push in the fall/holiday quarter with their momentum.



Is it something about gamescom?

its more about the timing than the event itself. Sony see's that gamescom is too close to E3, and generating buzz and hype with a confrence right before the holiday season is a good marketing strategy.

So no Sony or according to Risthel, no Microsoft either. The heck is Gamescom left with?

booths! hopefully Ubisoft will attend and show off some new For Honor multiplayer gameplay. Sony and MS should attend gamescom, but they wont have confrences.
