We know only Microsoft would place their event before the actual start of E3.
But for the sake of conversation, lets say Sony strategically planned on going after Microsoft.
Sony then has the opportunity and advantage to react/ retaliate against any Mega Bombs Microsoft throws at them.
Take last year for example, Microsoft announced Natal, so Sony pushed out their motion wand presentation which seemed much less polished, but they said that it would release in the Spring which seemingly put them at an organizational advantage.
Microsoft showed off Metal Gear Rising, So Sony dropped FF XIV.
Its cyclical, however I think there is an E3 event for a reason and pre-empting the whole convention by having a separate event 2 days early seems like somewhat of a Fuck You to the whole system.
Its too bad Microsoft cannot attend E3.
