More deep dives of each title in August and TGS.
Unlikely since they literally just posted this now.
If there's a delay wouldn't they announce it along with it?
Would you tie your event being postponed with protests and riots ? It will just add fuel to the fire. People are already going after sony for the old black vs white portable billboards. Anyway I only posted what I heard.
It's not punishing the rest of the world. The US is about a third of the console gaming market. Sony need their message to be heard by people ready to hear it.
North America is one of the biggest markets for gaming. The USA is the biggest part of the market by far. There are also Protests in Canada and the UK over this btw. I am sure Sony has meetings up the wazoo figuring out what they want to do about this

You bolded only part of what I said. I was referring the USA as the biggest part of the NA market.
Even in your link the USA is second only to China and 34.4b was spent in china in 2019 and 31.5b in the USA.
companies are tone death in their responses , this is not the political part of this forum so I will refrain from responding anymore
Plus Sony only care about console gamers when it comes to their PS5 marketing, which effectively makes China worthless to them. The fabulous opportunity presented this gen with official Chinese support for current consoles seems to have amounted to squat of diddly.

Agreed.
No one outside the US has anything to do with their internal problems.
This sounds like we all must be punished for it.
There's nothing I can do about events in a country / state that is >8000Km away from where I live, save for abandoning my wife and daughters and going on an activist mission overseas.
And frankly, if I did decide to leave my family for a peace-keeping humanitarian activist mission, I could find a hundred different places where I could make a much more substantial difference than going to the US.
I could understand the postponement if they had a stage appearance in one of the affected cities, because there would be security concerns involved.
If Sony decides to postpone a youtube streaming event because of these protests in the US, it won't say how much they care about the US. It just says how little they care about everyone else.
OK, I thought your USA statement referred to the whole world, not North America.

That's fine no issue there. As pointed out by others the USA is by far the biggest console market.
I don't know if sony will post pone the event. I am looking forward to seeing the new hardware and games but Sony has to decide whats best for them. If you keep up on the news twitter users are starting to call for spreading the rioting out suburbs over the next few days. They are talking about expanding protests in the UK and Canada also. So if things get worse it may be in Sony's intrest to post pone things. imagine the optics that can be used against a large company having a large event that detracts from whats going on. It can get painted in a very negative light very quickly. Look at the lunacy happening with the almost decade old billboards by sony

Virtue signalling.
So apparently I need to respect "the good people on both sides".
As I said, and I repeat: Sony must be careful not to cause an involuntary red herring that takes the attention away from those who are holding the metaphorical nation's mics. Posting clear a message of support seems to be the best balancing act. I think postponing could have been a good thing too.

Post about it here if you want.
Lets keep this topic on topic
Well this is annoying. I was counting down the days. But it is what it is. Cynically I feel that Sony is targeting maximum exposure, which they’re not really going to get this week. On the other hand, this really shows that there are more important things in the world than video games and especially videogame reveals. *shrug*
Well...um...yeah, it's marketing.
What marketeers wouldn't target maximum m exposure?That doesn't mean the intentions aren't genuine, but we should be looking at Sony's moves in terms of how do they reach a maximum sized audience that wants to listen.
