Damn this is really shocking, there is no E3 without Playstation. But this makes me really excited, it seems like they are planning huge things for the future!

I don't know, if they're going to bring banjo and flute man again to E3, then maybe its a good thing they won't be there in 2019.  They're definitely gearing up for huge things though, PS5 ramp up with this ''no e3'' announcement has officially begun.

Lets be honest here..... while I love E3 wht you just said is BS.

E3 was of and for  a time before the internet and Youtube and live streaming. Like lets be honest, that press conference at e3, the "millions" you rightly pointed out that tune into it do so how? Youtube? Twitch?

The simple truth is that sony..... scratch that. No one needs E3 anymore. Not in the world we live in right now.

Really? How? Nintendo Directs don't come close to the Twitch concurrent viewership that was earned by MS, Sony, Ubi and the likes. You think PSX gets nearly as many viewers? Not even close. Remember this is just Twitch numbers being better than a dedicated Nintendo stream. Include Youtube, and other sites, it kills anything any independent stream has ever done. E3 is the King of gaming hype every year. More so now, as social media takes over. Overtaking sports, and other news for the day. Gaming hype leaks into casual and non-gamers feeds. You think Nintendo came crawling back to the E3 stage for no reason? That you don't understand the CHEAP ASF advertising they get from producing a show shocks me.

I told you already....what good would it do if they’d spoil their show in December? Best case they disappoint like they did this year. They’ve already announced most of their big games...they most likely won’t announce anything PS5 related prior to December as well. 

And seriously...putting up a show like this is anything but “cheap advertising”. Their trailers will just get as any views if they just publish them and announce them over Twitter.

E3 is just fine tho. Sony's E3 in 2020 gonna be pretty hype at this point it would seem.

Alright Sony, I revoke my comment about your presentation being a bit pretentious and boring. Will you come back to E3 now?



Signature goes here!

If I had to guess, we've seen all the major PS4 exclusives left on the system: Days Gone, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of Us Part II. We've seen some gameplay from each of the four and all that's really left is to announce release dates for them. They probably don't want to have conference if they aren't going to reveal anything substantial. Although, some could argue Death Stranding probably needs one more showcase to give a better idea of what it is. Also, God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone had their release dates revealed though Playstation's blog if I remember correctly. I can see the other three having their release dates revealed similarly.

I assume there will be an event later in 2019 to celebrate Playstation's 25th anniversary where the PS5 will be officially announced and/or revealed. Holiday 2020 release.



PS 2018 show was a mess. Maybe they just want to focus solely on there own event like PSX.
