But now that next-gen console is less than a year away. And Sony has once again chosen to ditch the biggest (if beleaguered) media event in gaming. The PS5 will surely get a full reveal soon. We only officially know about one game, <em>Godfall<\/em> from Gearbox, and haven\u2019t even seen the physical hardware yet. But that blowout is more likely to happen at Sony\u2019s own event rather than crowded among other huge gaming news in LA this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Last year we had a few guesses as to why Sony might skip E3. So keep reading to see if any of those excuses still hold up. If we could add one more possibility though, maybe Sony just doesn\u2019t want to get doxxed by the ESA.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/coQLK_tewNQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>For the 24 years there has been an E3, there\u2019s been a PlayStation presence at E3. Ever since Sony first entered the video game console market with PS1 in 1994, it showed off its games and hardware at the world\u2019s biggest video game industry event. Whether it was riding high with the PS2, failing to make the $600 pitch with PS3, or clowning on the Xbox One\u2019s former used games policy with PS4, PlayStation and E3 have been joined at the hip.<\/p>\n<p>Until now.<\/p>\n<p>Sony shocked us by casually revealing that the company plans on skipping E3 2019. You\u2019ll still see games that run on PlayStation 4, if only because of third-parties, but don\u2019t expect new first-party Sony exclusives or kind of new hardware announcements. We\u2019re still processing it really. The PlayStation 4 is the dominant video game machine of this generation. So why skip the time of year to really flex? Especially when competitors Nintendo and Microsoft were quick to announce their E3 plans haven\u2019t changed. Here are just some of our guesses as to why PlayStation is skipping E3 2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3sRoaAeFuhE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>They\u2019re Waiting Until PlayStation 5<\/h3>\n<p>This Sony news came right around the fifth anniversary of the PS4. It reminded us this generation is nearly over. We can all feel it. All the half-step upgrades in the world like PS4 Pro can\u2019t stave off the next inevitable great leap in technology. PlayStation 5 probably won\u2019t be ready for two more years. But by taking a break in 2019, Sony can make PS5\u2019s coming out party at E3 2020 even more spectacular.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6lGSC0JdpIw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>They\u2019re Planning A New PSX<\/h3>\n<p>E3 wasn\u2019t the only event Sony bailed on recently. After years of successful PlayStation Experience fan events, Sony announced the show won\u2019t happened this December like it has in the past. PSX shows, like Nintendo Directs, were proof that Sony could create its own hype and news cycle completely independent from E3. So again, maybe they\u2019re just taking a break from E3 and this PSX to plan an even bigger PS5-centric PSX next year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1658831\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/E3-2016-logo-625x350.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/E3-2016-logo.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/E3-2016-logo-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/E3-2016-logo-141x80.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>E3 Sucks Now<\/h3>\n<p>E3 sucks now! It\u2019s way more depressing. They still haven\u2019t managed to figure out how to integrate the general public with the journalists there to do their jobs. Other publishers like EA keep holding their own LA events just far enough away to be annoying. If it made good business sense to skip E3 I might do it too!<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/inOQ6-3yd28?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>It Was Death Stranding The Whole Time<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s the chance this is all just a huge misinformation campaign for <em>Death Stranding<\/em>, the absolutely inscrutable upcoming PS4-exclusive from <em>Metal Gear<\/em> mastermind Hideo Kojima. Yeah Sony might skip E3, but if we go to their usual press conference stage at their usual time slot we\u2019ll just see Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen covered in oil. That honestly sounds way better.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aen32gHx6wQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>They Have Nothing New To Show<\/h3>\n<p>The whole point of E3 is to show off your games. In the past, Sony had great new games to show off like <em>Horizon<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/god-of-war-makes-the-beloved-franchise-relevant-again-1736554\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>God of War<\/em><\/a>, <em>Uncharted 4<\/em>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/spider-man-spectacular-ps4-exclusive-1751147\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Spider-Man<\/em><\/a>. There are still promising PlayStation games yet to come like <em>Death Stranding<\/em>, <em>Ghosts of Tsushima<\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/hands-on-dreams-is-sonys-wildly-ambitious-game-maker-1746644\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Dreams<\/a><\/em>, and <em>The Last of Us Part 2<\/em>. But Sony has already said so much about them, in a weird barn no less, that the next step is to just release them. And if Sony doesn\u2019t have anything new to announce, then yeah there\u2019s no point in PlayStation going to E3 2019.<\/p>\n<p>For more on PlayStation check out the full lineup for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-playstation-classic-is-sonys-answer-to-the-nes-mini-1752833\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation Classic<\/a>\u00a0as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/best-tv-for-ps4-pro-1759681\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">best TVs<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/best-external-hard-drive-for-ps4-1759865\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">best external hard drives<\/a>\u00a0for PS4.<\/p>\n<h3>Purchase PS4 Pro<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PlayStation-4-Pro-1TB-Console\/dp\/B01LOP8EZC\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1705462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/SEE_IT_HERE_GEEK-1.jpg?resize=178%2C51&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"51\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sony-e3-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/figure>\n<p>When Sony skipped E3 2019 last year we thought it was just a fluke.
