Sony's strategy is to sell a lot of hardware with sofware that are not even near to be released, it has been like that since the ps3, sony fans get excited for a lot of CGI videos but the games are show to move current hardware but get released on a new iteration of PS5,6,7...

what a bizarre post. half of what you mentioned is not even up to Sony to decide. DS is not even a year old, and this is Kojima, he loves making trailers for this games for every event possible. FF7 is not Sony's game: SE decided when to announce it. And we have seen gameplay. And we have no idea what that posting is even ultimately for. After all, CyberConnect have been working on the development side too so its not just an SE only effort. Shenmue 3 is also not Sony's game. They helped to promote a Kickstarter (which inevitably helped it a lot). Rest if up to Yu Suzuki and co to show off gameplay when they can. And Dreams has had a lot of content shown off for it, just not at events. Sure, this one is on Sony but there is content, from creation to gameplay. |
Sony definitely made deals for all the games I mentioned, so no excuse. A big hardware company using E3 to promote a kickstarter campaign is just... uhhhh...
MS and Sony's E3 conferences are usually all hype, but little actual substance (MS is even worse at this, their E3 2014 conference is so funny in hindsight).

They hadn't had a conference at Gamescom the last 2 years.

So easy to cast the first stone isn't it.. Turns out game development can be complicated and delays/cancellations can happen due to unforeseen consequences. Now, do I think Microsoft and Sony should be more careful with showing of things that might be a while away from release? Yes, but to pretend like this is a "Sony" thing is ludicrous. It isn't, like you say, not as bad for MS as it is for Sony, it is just as bad.
You would want them to make new announcements at PSX, no? Blowing the whole load on everything for the next 2 years at E3 would suck for later game shows. Otherwise there's no point in the conference. Ideally, E3 should have information on content we'll receive between this year's E3 to next year's E3. This year's PSX should have information on content we'll receive between this year's PSX and next year's PSX. I know it doesn't workout that way but you would think there would be a plan similar to this that Sony follows.
EDIT: If you ask me there's already a lot of announced content that they should have held back on. Days Gone and God Of War were announced at last year's E3 because...?? I would have preferred them announced at PSX. Given more detail at this E3 and then launched this year before the next PSX. Instead were about to see these games at E3 again!

The bolded especially holds true for WiLD since Michel Ancel is also working on Beyond Good and Evil 2.
You mean they're not going to hold a practically pointless event?
Why wouldn't they? If they have games set to release late 2018 or even 2019 I'd rather they announce them or show them off at the end of this year at PSX. E3 would be too early. I'm sure they'll have amazing announcements as always at both.
