not sure what to make of this i suppose. the note about this falling on the same day as halo 5 is pretty relevant,.. obviously sony wants to steal their thunder and a price cut announcement would be good for that.
in the broader picture i like the move. having a conference in June and then another in August is pretty close to each other. much like games themselves,.. i like having announcements peppered throughout the year instead of all at once.
imagine this scenario,.. as a rule E3 announces games landing in the following Q4 and Q1 while this paris thing announces games landing in Q2 and Q3. no more waiting years for releases!! every announcement is 3 to 9 months away which is, imo, the perfect amount of pre-release self hyping time. |
Between the ever stinging dig at MS from E3 2013, and the slight corporate PR potshots they have taken, they really know how to hold a grudge.....
Like, they can't even let MS have their day in the sun with Halo 5. tsk tsk

i don't even know why you are bringing up E3 2013 into this,..
...why should any company let any other company "have their day". if sony can announce something that grabs the headlines that day then it minimizes the (free) exposure halo would get. minimizing a comptetitors advantages is good business.

I can bring up E3 2013 if I feel like it. Lot of mud-slinging on Sonys part this gen so far. Announcing something on halo 5 day is being sore winner...not like this race is gonna be close or anything lol. Sony literally just has to manufacture these things and it sells itself.
Bold is more reminisent of good ol American business tactics. Had the shoe been on the other foot, MS would most surely be criticized for this (they were back in the early 7th gen when PS3 was at its worst). But with Sony its chill.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
