Forums - Gaming - Powers part of Sony E3 conference was "a mistake", says Yoshida

Focus on non-gaming properties went on too long according to President of Worldwide Studios.

Sony's Shuhei Yoshida was present during this year's Gamelab conference to pick up an Honor Award for his work in the games industry, and we managed to catch up with him afterwards to talk his thoughts on the company's E3, the move into VR, PS Vita's position in their future plans and what he wants from Uncharted 4 (hint: a good game).

With a couple of weeks to think about it, Sony's President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida believes while the company had "a lot of positive feedback" to their E3 conference, not everything was pitch perfect.

"We spent too much time talking about Powers," he replied when we asked him about the mid-conference lull. "So we could have made [that] a bit shorter. So that was a mistake."

You can watch the full interview with him below, and check out an extended highlights of the conversation here.

Glad they realize that, a single misstep like that is always what sticks out in people's minds unfortunately so they'll forget how well things were going until that point and after it. A pretty good conference turns into "terrible" pretty quickly and easily.

It didn't take to long, it shouldn't have been there in the first place.



Talking about the Ratchet and Clank movie was a waste of time too.

It's hard to believe they thought anyone wanted to see that crap.

That whole entire 30 minutes or so was a mistake, I hope we never see that again even though we probably will

i think it would have been ok if they just showed a teaser for it and even the ratchet movie was ok what hurt them was the guy that replaced whats his name. he was just boring and took way to much time



It bore me to death, but I'm happy I stuck around, because bloodborn and uncharted 4... Still, I wish I could get those minutes back.



Well, at least they learned from their mistakes. I fast forwarded through that part...
