Microsoft has, once again, decided against delivering a press conference at the Leipzig Games Convention.

Instead, the platform holder will demonstrate the Xbox 360 catalogue in an intimate mixture of public and behind closed-door demonstrations, according to VG247.

Nintendo opted out of GC press conference duties back in May, leaving Sony as the sole speaker for the second year running.

Microsoft was unavailable to comment the reason for the decision, but being situated so close to E3 in July is an obvious problem.

I'm sure Sony will love it.

They'll be like, "Hey all you Germans, check it out!! Exclusive announcement!! Killzone 2 is coming out at some point!!! You already knew that? How about Resistance 2? You knew about that too, huh? Since the PS3 launched you say? Ok, check out this presentation we made using Little Big Planet!! You already saw that at E3? Hmm."

+ no Nintendo conference

(whatever, casuals dont go to Gaming Convention)

+ no Gears of War 2

(GoW2, as GoW1, will not be released in Germany because it is ... too "violent")

not too bad for Sony

Time to Work !

Don't blame them, given their E3 showing, we pretty much know whats coming for the rest of 08 already. Same for Sony and Nintendo....?

Unless Sony have some stuff to show coming early 09 like GOW3....unlikely though.

I'm not sure those games will even be available in Germany because those games should have the same ratings as Gears of War, which is not allowed in Germany

Leipzig has Left 4 Dead on PC...that's all I care about hehe.

LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Sony are showing Heavy Rain I think. Naughty Dog might make an announcement too.
