As already suspected on Monday, Sony will not participate in the E3 this year either. The event is now no longer considered suitable for bringing your own news to the world.
In a statement, Sony explains:
“After a thorough examination, YOU decided not to attend E3 2020. We have a lot of respect for ESA as an organization, but we don't think the vision of E3 2020 is the right place for what we're focusing on this year. ”
As expected, Sony will again organize its own events, which the fans are already looking forward to.
“We will build on our global event strategy in 2020 by participating in hundreds of consumer events around the world. Our focus is on making fans feel part of the PlayStation family and having access to their favorite content. We have a fantastic selection of titles for PlayStation 4 and with the upcoming launch of PlayStation 5 we are looking forward to a year full of celebrations with our fans. "
Above all, the problem with the E3 could be that I almost exclusively address the trade fair to trade visitors. Some tickets are also issued to regular visitors, but the gamecom or TGS scale is far from being reached.
ESA statement
There is also a statement from ESA that apparently does not want to be irritated by Sony's absence. So Sony is not even mentioned in it, instead one highlights the planned highlights of the E3.
“E3 is a unique event that celebrates the video game industry, showcasing the people, brands and innovations that are redefining the entertainment loved by billions of people around the world. The E3 2020 will be an exciting, energetic show with new experiences, partners, exhibitor areas, and programs that will entertain new and experienced visitors alike. Exhibitors' interest in our new activations is attracting the attention of brands that see E3 as an important opportunity to connect with fans of video games worldwide. "
Microsoft has again confirmed its participation in E3. The year 2020 is a milestone for creativity and technical progress, which see an important part in E3 to get in touch with the fans.
