why does this event imo sound like that failed handheld Game com
I'm glad xbox is still doing e3 and gamescom.
So Sony is skipping out on this one too?! What the hell is going on with them? Do they have nothing to show or something? I hope this isn't some sort of precedent set for the long run. This could turn around and bite them. Please have an event in the near future. A good one with upcoming games we haven't heard about.
Sony being a snob doesn't wanna share the audience and wants to have its own show haha
