I woke up today with a shocking air, Sony's announcement that it was not available at E3 2020
Sony has announced to GamesIndustry that they will not be present at this year's edition of the World Games Fair.
According to a statement issued by Sony, it says:
We have great respect for ESA [the organization behind E3] as an institution, but we do not feel that the E3 2020 vision is the right place for what we will focus on this year. We will walk on our global events strategy in 2020 by participating in hundreds of user events around the world. The world, our focus is on making sure that fans feel that they are part of the PlayStation family and that they can access their favorite content, we have an impressive array of titles coming to PlayStation 4 next to the next PlayStation 5 release, we really look forward to celebrating a bus year with our fans.
So Sony is still insisting on its position that the E3 exhibition is intended only for the media while the company wants to be close to the community of players and not the media, so it will not be present at the E3 2020 event and it seems that this is its future decision as well and will replace that by being in the events that the audience attends to be able to From taking a closer look and trying his favorite games.
This decision now makes us direct attention to the alleged event that will be held by Sony next February, in which it will unveil the Playstation 5 and it seems that we will get a soon announcement about the date of this upcoming event. And it's almost certain that Sony held the same event in the same month when it unveiled the PlayStation 4 almost 6 years ago.
At the same time, Microsoft wants to take advantage of every opportunity that makes it ahead of Sony during the war of the current generation, although Phil did not mention the name of Sony or Playstation in his tweet, but the timing of its publication in conjunction with the latter's denials was present in the exhibition sufficient to show us that.
Microsoft has not clarified its plan that you will be in, but there is still a lot of time to disclose it, and we expect that the Xbox Series X is the focus of the conference and Microsoft's only opportunity to market the device and reveal more details about it, the most important of which are the price, launch games and the deadline. To be released on the market.
E3 2020 exhibition will open from 9 to 11 June (6) this year.
