GAMEScom. You need games to get in the door. Exclusives or multiplats that you pretend are your own exclusives. Now I know Sony is broke.

Sony is genius for ignoring Gamescon and most of europe this year. They already have them in a stranglehold and would sell even if Kaz said Europe sucks. Focus on other territories like the US. Perfect chance to stamp out MS and try for another monopoly.

So they moved from one European conference close to E3 to one more spaced out. Works for me.

As for Gamescom, I wonder if this gets them to consider spacing themselves back out from E3. With Paris Games Week offering a suitable alternative, the organizers are going to have to do something to keep Gamescom an attractive destination.

Nah, read what you said just fine. Sony has nothing to show so they see no point in hosting a conference.

So I guess by that logic MS hasn't had anything to show off for awhile now?

nah, MS doesnt waste time in 3rd world countries that dont matter.

I think at this point MS would sell to any country that would buy an Xbone. I also really hope you don't actually think that Germany is a 3rd world country.

No offense to anyone, but I'm under the impression that most Americans think every country besides the US, UK and Japan are 3rd world countries

“We're delighted to announce that we will be hosting an international media briefing at Paris Games Week on 27th October,” Sony said.

“With the changes this year of E3 taking place a week later and Gamescom taking place earlier, we feel that both PlayStation and the wider industry would benefit from a major news milestone later in the year, during the most important period for gaming."

Makes me wonder if Gamescom is still worth it for the big 3. I mean, MS hasn't been there for awhile, Ninty also hasn't (they've had demos, but not conferences or an "official" presence). Now Sony won't go either. Seems like they really need to rethink their strategy a bit or risk becoming a niche conference.

So lems are not only all stupid but also blind. Here is the group of illiterate goofs who posted like morons after the above was here for everyone to read.

Not surprised. It looks like they already blew their load. I mean they could only show CGI footage or footage using PC or just game titles or live action ads and montages of all their future games with no solid release dates so much. Besides, I think they'll do that at E3 so it makes sense they're a no show at GamesCom.

Hosting your own independent show for games of 1 company >>> hosting a booth at a convention with a group of other companies showing games.

This.

They have Europe on lockdown. It's the Xbone and WiiU that need Gamescom. Sony would still outsell those two consoles in Europe even if PS4s came shipped with Ebola.

Wouldnt you want to go to shows in different countries? You know, to get those countries pumped about your product? Germany has a massive population, I'm sure a games company showing in any country is only a good thing. Plus being so close to E3, they could just re-use all E3 game footage etc, throw in some surprises not mentioned at E3. Missing any even cant be seen as good.

Sony could release a limited edition PS4 that Kaz farted on and they would be sold out in minutes. Sony can literally do no wrong with PS4 at this point. I'm thinking they shouldn't even bother with any sort of press or advertising at this point. They'd save billions and PS4 will sell anyway.

In this case its bad news for Gamescon since Sony is usually one of those who offers the best show..

Probably Sony are focusing on E3 this year, hopefully they will offer something better compared the past 2 events..

lol, no I didn't get the memo, they are doing the SAME thing? LMAO please stop the BS here.

The Playstation Experience event last year was HUGE. It was as big as any one of these single conferences on it's own but it was only Sony. But please give me the link to this as I have seen it no where on SW or other outlets. If you are suggesting MS is hosting a huge games event just for xbox the "same" scale as a single E3 or gamescon please give the details so I can examine them.

We already know how big sony's personal event was last year and there is no indication MS or Nintendo will be doing anything on that scale even if they do have events there so there is no way for you to say they will be doing the same thing as Sony, this is complete fabrication on your part unless you have details to prove otherwise.

@playharderfool: The PSX Experience was a Gad Damn joke. So much build up and hype leading up to it, only to fall short with almost nothing.

They said it is because this year, e3 and gamescom are only 6 weeks apart. So they are going to Paris game show instead in October. Simple as that folks. Continue on with the circle jerk though.

They're so doomed. The signs are showing. This just adds to the pile.

I think they are trying to save money to be honest. They will probably do a Direct Feed video like Nintendo has done in the past.

@cainetao11 said:

Smart move. When you are in debt, and your product is selling easily, why waste capital on shows that you don't need?

That's what I'm saying. They are profitting on the PS4 and it's software, so why spend millions on a second conference right after the E3. Especially if all they are going to do is show the same things again.
