All their games and platforms being known before E3 has become a running joke for Sony and they care more about humour than anything else... even profits!

Whoever is in their marketing department needs to be piesacked.
The idea that they can just spill all their rumours months before the event, in the form of leaks, and be successful, is a joke. I mean, these aren't even leaks, they're full on announcements!
At least with the slim version leaks, there was controversy and speculation and people were like "fake" and it caused a great commotion.
Their marketing department is so bad at viral.

The point is they don't understand the gaming community, ie; The community who actually is interested in these games, and watches the show, wants to be able to watch e3 and be surprised.

The error is that generally, leaks should be reserved for mid-range games, as in, "they leaked all this regular content, but then blew us away with X, Y, and Z".

But what happens is that Sony tends to leak everything except one thing, that's like 3-4 years away from release (see last guardian), shows us everything we already saw a month before, shows us some multiplats with meh exclusive content, and I always just end up feeling bleh.

Sony usually wins simply because the other two fail at e3, imo. If Sony were just to hold their cards a little closer to their chest and surprise people, there would be much more buzz and stuff to talk about. In fact, even if they further held something back and then held a conference like 5 days later with a megaton announcement....if they really care about the amount of content in a short amount of time....leave it for AFTER, don't announce it before...or at least, learn how to leak properly. Show resumes of a developer saying "worked on unrevealed AAA ps3 game slated for XX/XX".

Leak a bandwidth usage cap of a developer being way higher than normal...something like that. Don't just give the names away..

Couldn't agree more, prof.

I just hope they're making room for some huge Vita announcements.

Let's just pretend that E3 will be so jam packed with epic trailers of unnanounced games that they have to reveal other games before E3.

Well no gameplay trailers have been released as far as i know....so if they can release epic gameplay trailers for these games at E3 then thats good enough for me

But i suppose an announcement + epic gameplay trailer > just an epic gameplay trailer :/

We see these types of news at least once a month. 9 times out of ten its a PSN game. Maybe its a Move title since Sony says they are relaunching Move this year. The fans always assume its a core, dualshock 3 retail exclusive.

I bet one announcement is Battle Royale, but the second is prob a Move or PSN game.

Why would you guys rather be surprised on a certain day? Does it matter when they tell us?

I'm a PS3 gamer, and I could sort of care less. People get too hyped up for this sort of thing.
