Just curious, have you ever had something positive to say about Playstation or their games? I've been here for few years now and I can't recall a single positive thing about Sony coming from you. |
Ignorance on your part doesn’t make me guilty of anything. I’ve praised plenty of Sony games here. Nothing super recent, because they haven’t done anything lately that has grabbed me 🤷🏻♂️

It seems to be the case indeed. Also with the internet as it is nowadays, it's much cheaper to simply make videos and upload them giving people all the info they need, videos like State of Play or Nintendo Direct.
I hope they still do conferences at E3 or elsewhere cause that was fun to watch but yeah, I get it, why spend millions of dollars to get a space at E3 when you can just make a video and freely upload it on Youtube whenever you want and with as much info as you'd have at E3.
I believe that if E3 wants to survive this transition they need to become a 100% people's oriented kind of event, like GamesCom or the Paris Games Week cause organizing an event just for professionals is no longer relevant. They know this since they began allowing people to attend these past years, but what I'm saying is they need to move full steam in that direction by completely opening to everyone who wishes to attend.
E3 is in the worst shape it's ever been -- last year it was half-empty, and that was before they doxed thousands of attending journalists -- so Sony skipping again would make total sense. I'd expect them to announce their own big PS5 event(s) instead

wow so last year it was half-empty cause Sony decided not to show. That's nuts; Or E3 is already a sinking ship and loosing attendees way before Sony decided not to participate.
Edit: We are in a new era now folks. We're in a time where we can absorb information in the comfort of our home. E3 is dead.

But Nintendo still have floor at e3. They also do competitions before e3 too like Splatoon, Smash, and super mario maker.

Joke post? 2018/19 attendance numbers (from a ZhugeEX tweet): Gamescom : 373k E3 : 66k For US, E3 might be everything, for the rest of the world (where Sony sells the most of its consoles), it is almost irrelevant. E3 money is better spent elsewheres. |
Those are just attendance. How about viewers for live streams/ Conference/ directs? Maybe if they make it cheaper more people will come

You know that validates the excuse for Sony not going right? If they dropping the Logo on CES (non-gaming event) get twice as much hype than MS revealing the console at a gaming related event. So whatever they do will still get coverage, but yes do some joke on it. Besides, congrats on "prove my point with a quick google search, that is all the evidence you need". |
Over a million people would watch Sony conference at e3. Why would they not do one? If they want to save money they can do a direct like nintendo. Maybe they can even have no showfloor and just do a direct.

E3 never had big attendance in the first place. More of its exposure is from the viewers at home. Im pretty sure no other viewership in terms of gaming can beat e3.

You can't say that in 1998 where there was no YouTube or Twitch, or in the last 10 yrs.
If people rather watch from home then companies are better off doing their own direct or experience. E3 is a sinking ship. It's deaded.

But having your directs at E3 gives that extra exposure/advertisement. There was even 1 year Nintendo only showed 1 game and it still had the most exposure of any other games showed. Why cant Sony do this last year and this year?

E3 cost money, and companies pay big bucks to rent space and set up their stage events. if people are not showing up but opting to watch at home then you might as well save yourself the cost and do your direct/psx. If Sony did a show at E3 2020 it would help E3 a lot but not being there definitely is a negative blow to E3. E3 is dead
