I'm not, but let's be fair with one thing here. Their AAA budget 1st party exclusive native next gen title without the shackles of currentgen should blow everything out of the water. Even if it's only one or two titles.
The format sucks, long lines to get limited time to play demos which often actually chew into development time of titles. They can live stream their own showcase and offer demos in the cloud.
I haven't known any sort of 'experience' that didn't have long lines to demo the games. I can't see a situation in which holding their own would stop this from happening. There will always be some titles that are more popular than others; people will line up
Precisely
"Wow these new Playstation games are laggy as shit imma skip the PS5" ;P
I thought we were talking about streaming PS5 games before the release of the PS5?

Not doing the hardware release there is fair enough. I thought they’d have their own February event for the hardware and then E3 just for the games. That’s what MS did with the One X (although they left it to Digital Foundry to do the hardware talk, which I thought worked very well) and then games, games & more games at E3.This does not come as any sort of surprise to me. As I said back in the 'Sony, No 2019 E3 Showing' thread, Sony withdrawing presence from these type of events has been an emergent pattern now for 3-4 years. As I also said, Sony have not announced new hardware at E3 since 2005. They've clearly felt E3 wasn't the event for an awful lot of big news for almost fifteen years.
Big companies just do not want to work around somebody else's PR timetable.
Theoretically great, but realistically, how many millions would want a taste? So Sony would have to stack their PSNow centres with PS5 hardware to steam demos, and then have no hardware left to sell to gamers. For showcasing current-gen games though, it seems like a good idea. Then again, it could be used now for instant demos, too, but game demos have been decreasing rather than increasing.
Which IMO tallies with their PS5 marketing to date, which isn't about numbers but features. I think this is Sony's positioning/marketing strategy, same as many other corporations these days.
Yea I believe the reveal would be a separate event. I just figured they would bolster their coverage of PS5 during E3. I guess I was wrong.
