About 2 months ago Sony announced that it will be skipping E3 2019. The first time it would do so and fans are wondering what it could mean. As the fans wonder some say that it is a bad move such as Michael Pachter who is an analyst for Wedbush Securities. This is his view on the recent news.
” I think it’s a one-off. I think they made a bad decision. I think they somehow internally determined that the money’s not well spent- and they’re wrong. I don’t know what they spend on E3, but even if it’s $15 million, they get $15 million of publicity out of it. So I think they’re fools to bypass the show. And they’ll be back.
They had that stupid walk-through that nobody understood, and it just wasn’t fun. And I think they probably spent a ton on that. And they’re very much guys who don’t acknowledge that they did anything wrong, so they just take their ball and go home, because it didn’t work well.
Again- no games. So I think it’s all related to gearing up for the next generation console. They’ll probably announce the next-gen console in Spring of 2020, and have their own event- maybe they’ll call it PSX. Maybe there’s a PSX in December of 2019, and they announce their next-gen console then.”
Now in Sony defense we don’t know why they are skipping out on E3. It could be gearing up for PS5 announcement as many believe. It could even figuring out what to do for there next event as both PSX 2017 and E3 2018 weren’t that good. It could even be there own event but we will have to see a wat they have come up with and b will it be good.
As always thank you for reading.
