sony must not like conferences anymore, first it was e3, now it's these two.

to be fair, these two are due to coronavirus concerns, which is a laughable reason, but they aren't even replacing them with a state of play or anything.

things don't look too hot for sony at the moment

Sony is skipping conferences because they stole the idea from Nintendo's Treehouse event.

They have their own convention every year now, don't they? "Experience" or some shit?

Sony is so good they don't need those money-grab conferences. Good for Sony.

Good reason to skip it.

Imagine if Sony was no more and all wed be left with is Xbox and Nintendo consoles.

Thats not a world I want to live in.

k?

they're making the switch from posting sales numbers to concurrent users, they're struggling with pricing for the ps5, they haven't even shown people anything about the ps5 despite it releasing this year, they repeatedly pull out of conferences, they recently had a large management shuffle, they recently moved playstation headquarters to LA

oh, right, the headquarters. it's in california now. not japan. it's run by americans now, anyways,
you know, about 20 miles away from where the gdc is being held
and they're not going anymore.

they supposedly had booths and everything already built and set up at pax, and then pulled out. all they were going to do there was show the last of us 2, that's it.

facebook also pulled out of gdc, however, but they're making up for it by making a nintendo direct-like video. is sony?

nope.

meanwhile, microsoft has their own building just for e3, nintendo is at least present on the floor at e3 even if they don't have a conference there.

Damn TC is really trying to make something out of nothing.

103 million paid PSN members is a huge revenue and TC thinks it's unimportant. Lolz

conferences just arent as relevant as they used to be. E3 as a whole is totally floundering right now to remain relevant. doesnt really mean much tbh

It's more that these conferences are pointless when in this day and age you can reveal things whenever you please and folk will still pay attention. Nintendo learned that and Sony are too.

They have state of play. That could become something better.

Edit: I also have you tagged as the TC.

Wut?
I'm talking about other peoples alts. Tagging alts as said user helps me keep track. Even more so of users with multiple alts.

They weren't even there and PAX was still awesome. I loved the Animal Crossing booth and I never really cared to get into the series.
