Sony Gamer' S Day 2007 will take place the next week with San Diego. Sony Computer Entertainment America will benefit from the event to reveal its next plays PlayStation 3, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, Uncharted Drake' S Fortune, Lair, Eye of Judgment, Warhawk or Heavenly Sword to quote only them. In addition, the last titles of PlayStation 2 and the future bombs of the PSP (God of War at the head) should also be festival. Let us hope that some very good surprises are also with the menu.

I don't get this. The "new" E3 is in July, why have this media blowout next week then? If I were Sony I would save the big guns like Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank Furure for E3.
Do you forget what happened to E3?
First of all, if you're releasing your games in Q3, July is pretty close to actively promote your games. Ideally you want to build up buzz over a longer time period in order to let your [strike]gospel[/strike] PR spread and reach a broader audience. Moreover, nobody really knows what to expect of the "new" E3, I expect most publishers to be a bit uneasy at least. Part of the reinvention of the show was to refocus it on development and to free it from the grip of PR and media buzz. So I am pretty sure nobody in their right mind would just bet their entire money on the unknown underdog.
We know a little bit...
The number of publishers and developers set to attend this July’s E3 Media & Business Summit currently stands at just 32 compared to last year’s expo which hosted over 400. - 23rd April, 2007

It's not likely to attract the media rush of previous E3s. And as mentioed regards E3, media coverage in the internet age is very different. You can send out demos and movies, so journalists don't need to attend events to see the wares. Unless you're showing new hardware, you can leave the internet to do your promotion. Supply a few demos, let a few key sites cover the games and event, the forums reproduce the info, and other sites fish the internet and regurgitate the same stories, rumours and misunderstandings, without having to pay for staff to fly to Santa Monica.
Still, Sony has at least implied that E3 will be a reasonably big event for them still, by indicating that's where KZ2 will be revealed, for example.
I think Gamer's Day might serve a slightly similar role that GDC did for them last year. I think you'll see games previewed with a greater or lesser focus depending on when they're due to hit. For example, I'd expect something like Lair or Warhawk (i.e. summer or early Fall titles) to receive bigger attention, and games like Uncharted (i.e. late Fall/Winter titles) to have less focus. The latter will probably see the big focus at E3, alongside everything else.

Sure. E3 still has some worth. It's just not 'the one and only show to show everything' as it once was, explaining why Mr. Domino's confusion isn't warranted. There's no more all-eggs-in-one-basket extravangza where you aim to show everything and make your console look the biggest and baddest and win all those daft 'best of show' awards. Instead these companies get to manage PR across multiple events.
Oh and people that quote is definately getting your hopes up! One Playthree don't know what's going to be at Sony Gamer's Day, and two it's a bad translation. I think it's saying we might see these PS3 games, one or some of them - but we might not guys 
Yeah E3 isn;t really needed....all these events happening at the moment is the way it should be. Can't wait to see the Final Fantasy XIII trailers from the SE event

E3 is more important than ever, but only for big companies.
Seriously, is EA, Sony, MS, Nintendo, Ubisoft or whoever else think they can ignore E3 they are out of their minds. They are all afraid of spending too much money in such a competitive event, but at the same time it means some will hold back on their spending. It's the perfect time to reveal your best because like it or not it will still be about who "won" E3 and there is just THAT much more focus on E3 than any other events. There will be more attention given to their games than ever because there will be less distractions.
Any company who decided to basically pass on this E3 are screwed, they will have missed their chance.
My guess is Sony, unless they make some royal mistake, will come out on top because they are the ones that have the most to show yet (especially their first party and "current" exclusives, plus PSP GoW, etc) and they know very well how important E3 will be this year for them (moreso than last year). MS has Halo 3 but everything else we already know about, and I doubt Nintendo has a surprise or much to show other than what we've seen a plenty of.
After Sony I'd expect EA and Ubisoft to do pretty well, especially if the later has more of that Assassin and Splinter Cell goodness to show

Not to judge, but, it sounds like a typical biased statement.
MS has only Halo 3 and everything else we know about? is that so? well, please tell me about Bioshock, Alan Wake, Halo Wars, Splinter Cell 5, Fable 2, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, Huxley, Too Human, Banjo Kazooie, PGR4.... you want me to keep going?
Same goes to Nintendo. I think its ignorant to think that MS and Nintendo doesnt have much to show @ E3 while Sony will have a massive blowout and steal the show.
Its also ignorant to say "we" know just about everything MS and Nin has to offer, while Sony is hiding a bag full of tricks. Tsk tsk tsk
Im not aiming to rant or flame(...mods?
), its just im sick of bs statements like this. I know you meant that in a good way, all im saying is look through a different perspective sometime, will ya? Could you predict in advance what Sony showed at GDC 2007? That's his hunch, and you are no less biased than him.Not to judge, but, it sounds like a typical biased statement.

At the next E3 they won't announce a new more expensive price, I assure you!
