They may really be wanting to shift focus and expectations to PSX than E3.

Seems to be the case.  I know they plugged it during the preshow and then again, right before their conference started.

I think I prefer Sony not showing off games several years in advance.

Well, most of their games release within less than 2 years.

Exactly.  I don't know why this stigma got attached to Sony when every one does it.  A lot of them show games that take 2-3 more years to launch.  Hell, at least Sony releases the vast majority of them, instead of cancelling them.

I'm expecting a full game demo of GOW at playstation experience.

Among new announcements in both conferences. As well as Detroit gameplay.

So aren't Sony the only ones who actually have 3 conferences a year? The others have 1 right?

Well they also have the PSX conference so they have 4 conferences a year.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Figured this was common knowledge. I think they held back more this year than normal because they didn't think Nintendo would step their game up like they did.

Nintendo stepped up something? As a whole, they all held back. First Spencer announced they didn't show any new games because they don't want to announce next year games and now Kaz too...

Well, of course. As I pointed out in another thread, Sony will have seen the laclustre MS conference and adjusted theirs accordingly. You don't show ALL your aces if it's not necessary. Saving them for other events is a much more productive approach.

No, Nintendo directs happen all throughout every year. Already we've had the Switch Presenation Direct in January, then a Nintendo Direct in April plus two mini Directs for ARMS/Splatoon and Pokemon and then the Nintendo Spotlight in June. So, so far this year Nintendo has had 3 major presentations and 2 mini ones focused on a specific franchise.

After last year definitely. I think most expected 2017 games, primarily Mario, and we got that plus Yoshi, Pokemon, Metroid 2 & Metroid Prime 4, with the last one being treated like the Shenmue 3 announcement. If the goal of E3 is to create buzz, it feels like Nintendo stole the show while everyone else played conservatively.

Saveing some for other parts of the year...... could be a mistake by them?

Nah I think they'll be fine. The biggest problem for me was the games they showed didnt have a date. If they had done that for Days Gone, GOW and Spider-Man they would have won the show (and if they had added 3/4 from the pre-show it would have been a no contest)... but I've been reading EG's conference reports and now I see that perhaps the conference itself isnt as important as it should be.

1. You are trying to get as much press as possible over the course of E3 and not just a 1 hr show.

2. Sony have been doing a lot of live streaming of games.

3. They have a couple of other shows where they want to keep the hype up all year.

So now I start to realise that unfortunately the E3 show itself is less important to them as a strategy than perhaps it was, certainly helps when MS is looking alot weaker.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Better wait to announce new games before having another Final Fantasy VII Remake.
It was announced at E3 2015 but will most likely release in 2019 (in the earliest case).




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)
