it's more like Nintendo land but Yes they're favorable to Sony too.
France is Sony's turf too though.
There were 3 'new' things at MS's Gamescom last year :
Game Announcement : Screamride
Gameplay Debut : Quantum Break
Megaton : Lara Croft Rises Exclusively on Xbox, Holiday 2015
Cup head annouce at Gamescom right?
Hellblade & Abzu too.
Just not sure why people are freaking out. It's not like Sony won't be there at all, they'll still be on the floor and they can still do Press releases during the show... :shrug:
The "big reveals" will just be at either E3 (early June), TGS (early September) or Paris (late Ocotber) this year, that's all. Gamescom will be for trying stuff out on the show floor.
Yup. :>Price cut in October...?

I don't even remember what Microsoft showed during their Gamescom conference last year, and I watched it live. It seemed like the whole thing was defined/overshadowed by that Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusivity deal, which isn't the sort of announcement you want viewers to remember the most once the curtains close.
Oh yeah, the Quantum Break footage with the bridge and everything. Yeah, that was alright. I dunno, I love Remedy, but that game does little to excite for a reason I can't put my finger on.
...I'm not surprised you would say this, but you know how opinions work. I think gamescom was great last year. Alienation and Helldivers were there. The first is a lot of fun and he next one seems like it'll be great. Wasn't Wild and Tomorrow's Children there as well?
apparently it was more about announcements than reveals (Halo beta, cod/Fifa/sunset packs, .indies,...)

I don't really understand what Sony's reasoning is with this decision.
That's a regional show/press conference though.

Sony Gamescom 2014 Summary
I'M STILL IN A DREAM, SNAKE EATER ANNOUNCEMENT: P.T.
You missed out something.
You missed out something.
Its pretty obvious. Gamescom this year is closer to E3.
Even if Sony held a conference, there would be nothing new to announce from the E3, since they're really close. Its better not to hold a conference if its obviously going to be "meh" because of no new stuff announced.
So they moved their conference to Paris so they have more time to get new stuff to announce.
Sounds quite logical to me. Its not like Sony's suddenly not taking the Germany market seriously, like some people are saying.
Did he? Maybe he's working for Konami.
What's that?
Well, could they not even have a scaled back conference at Gamescom featuring lots of indie announcements, further looks at 3rd parties for Holidays, and maybe one big announcement.
Seems like they could easily do Gamescom & Paris.
Price cut in October...?

or maybe new SKU with a bigger HDD.

Moving to Paris in order to do a big blowout on Quantic Dream's new game, with home court advantage.
or maybe new SKU with a bigger HDD.
It honestly has little to do with any of that. These conferences aren't just about announcing new games, but promoting your platform. Gamescom is just poorly positioned this year unfortunately. From the end of November until January, you have the biggest period of the year in terms of sales. This media briefing is the answer to that age old question, "What does Sony have for the holidays?" It turns out they have words.Its pretty obvious. Gamescom this year is closer to E3.

How would MS even respond to a PS4 price cut so close to the holidays?

At least you know what people are going to look forward to now if TLG isn't shown at E3.

Nah, that wouldn't give the sales increase the are expecting.
Halo 5 Bundle + $299.
No way Sony can top that.
But would MS actually bundle a new Halo game?
