Why does Sony even bother to show up at E3

Not "announcing" (big) games and sill think you will be dominating is arrogance just as Sony tought they could sell a console of €600- with few games just because the name playstation was on it. Wii to Wii U is the same story. Wild is anything but confirmed for 2015 or actually any game on that list except until dawn. Persona 5 could take a while to release in the West. Gran Turismo 6 launched 2 years ago and concidering it is GT PD needs at least three years.. Horizon will be officialy anounced but the game will not be ready in 2015, that's why it wasn't teased off at the PSX expo. MS will show more in Forza announce a new game form rare and promote a shit ton of exclusives for this and the upcoming year.

It is likely for them to announce a new gears  and some third party agreements like Sony, to be honest they don't need more.

Well Ps3 at $600 did sell decent amount, just on the basis that it was a playstation and only the bad rep from dev and press made it seem like a horrible Machine. 

Not "Announcing" (big) games, are you from future? Could you tell us what will be announced? Again GG Horizon for me is a Huge announcment So is Gravity Rush 2, GT7 and as i said Last guardian announcment could possibly to some extent will offset Halo 5 Hype.. and not to mention you just dissed Sony E3 conference because  R&C, which in no where "big" got delayed.

And as for this year the games i mentioned could possible have a release date announced at E3, also about outselling MS this holiday.. I guess you are underestimating the power of exclusive marketing to games such as Battlefront and MGS

[MS will show more in Forza announce a new game form rare and "promote a shit ton of exclusives for this and the upcoming year."]

Really based on what? do you see you are clearly supporting the same theory for MS and discrediting it for Sony.

I'll repeat i dont see MS announcing any new title at this E3 except for maybe Rare. While Sony has a lot which will be spread out throughout the year.

Horizon is already announced and defenitly will not release in 2015 as Sony stated during PSX expo, Rare already has announced that they wil show their new game at E3. Forza 6 is also already announced for 2015 as is Halo and probably Rise of the tomb raider will release right before christmas. Sony's counter measures on those games are P5 (if it even releases on time in the West and is nowhere big over here) Tearaway and until dawn. For the coming year MS, alreadyhas Quatum Break, which is considered pretty huge and Crackdown and  Scalebound. Sony will release plenty of games in 2016, although I doubt U4, GT7 and GOW 3 would release in one year. I also see MS announcing a new gears of war for 2016 this E3 and at least one new game during the gamescom which makes sure MS has  5 games for that year already. TLG could release 2015 but it could very well be 2018.

As for Sony P5, tearaway and until dawn are to niche to compeat with the more mass apealling games from MS, I am not saying P5 won't be a good game but it will not outsell one of the MS trio. Tearaway looks cute, but I fear it is not going to do much better than LBP 3 and lastly Until dawn could go either way, with a bit of luck beats the million mark. Yet none of these games are even close to Halo in therms of impact Uncharted was. An anouncement of a game which is delayed for so long no-one outside the gamesite visiting gamers knows it even excists isn't either.

So even with the announcement of GT7 which is already a given anyway, GOW 4 another Uncharted gameplay trailer and a Horizon teaser trailer and quite possibly a quantic dream trailer and a Sony bend or Guerila cambridge surpise announcement. The situation on short or mid therm doesn't really improve for Sony. I even see MS pull another Tomb Raider since they are in to win and this E3 gives them the chance to win the US back.
