They're at multiple shows each year, all of which need games to be shown off. And PSX now seems like a much bigger deal to them after last year where they ended it by announcing TLoUPII. So, they don't feel like they need to put everything into E3 anymore.

Sony announced their biggest game at PSX.

Makes plenty of sense. I think it was a really smart decision since they can't keep doing shows like they've been doing. There's gotta be a lull at some point, and sometimes it's better to just take the "hit" and not have another bombshell conference for a while.
Also I totally expect to see what Sucker Punch is working on at the end of PSX this year.

Lol wtf is up with some of the reactions in here. Yeah, this E3 wasnt as great as Sony's previous two E3s but it was still pretty great nonetheless. I dont know what people were expecting when all they showed was game after game. They still got TGS and PSX, so no kidding they're going to hold back on some of their announcements for those two...
Its not dumb if they have to spread out their game priorities across the year.

I think people have come to expect too much from them, yet they have/attend more conferences than the other 2 platform holders (I think?).
Yeah and why not, you're directly engaging with the fans.

Not surprised, PSX makes them money and they can get media attention alone during December (well maybe shared with Game Awards) so I expect them moving new announcement to their own show in the future

E3 is just becoming less relevant for everyone, honestly.

no wonder they had to catch up with details for all the exclusives from years past that still weren't out, it's hardly surprising. After all Dreams and TLOU2 weren't there.
They are not trying to win games shows.
I think people need to look outside E3 for now on.

I thought it was pretty obvious they held things. Most specifically, Sucker Punch's new game.
PSX should be a blast this year. It's my favorite show every year, though I wish I could get some theater tickets for that!

Sony is shifting "mega-tons" to PS experience.
I'm not even mad. I went to PSX last year and the reaction to TLOU2 was bonkers. Watch SP new IP get announced at PSX.
Think about it their show was just Layden and clips. Not trying to defend anything it was a Spartan show no pun intended! It was bare and about the basics.

Main conference did seem quite short. I wonder if they cut some reveals last minute because MS didn't really show anything big either. My only question was why did they show so much in the pre-show. Things like Hidden Agenda, GT Sport, Ni No Kuni 2 could easily have made the main show.

What other shows would Xbox debut their games at? They don't go to Gamescom right? And they don't have their own Xbox branded conference..

TLOU2 should have closed E3 and Arkham Spiderman blowout should have closed PSX last year.
If these had been switched, Sony would have had a very different and more positive reaction to the whole show.
Same with that Death Stranding trailer from the game awards, absolutely wasted there.

Works for Nintendo, worked for Sony with The Last of Us Pt. 2.
Having these news spread over the year is better for their momentum.
Bwahahaha.

It's not dumb.
If you have, say, 4 games to announce in a year and you have 2-3 big conferences then it makes sense to divide them instead of showing all of them in 1 conference and then have nothing for the rest of the year
Of course, as expected. PSX is getting bigger every year. The Lost Legacy and TLOU2 were revealed at PSX, for example.
Also, interesting stuff about Spider-Man in that Shu video. He says there's many different paths in the shown E3 sequence. "You'll be amazed at how open and flexible the game system is."

Stuff this like alone makes your hard work more satisfying, be it corporate or as a developer.

Didn't Naughty Dog say they are the one who wants to show TLoU2 at PSX last year?

I'd agree if it weren't Sony of all companies. Pretty sure they have a shit load of unannounced games
I actually think they will do Gamescom this year for the following reasons:
- GTS was missing the show proper and didn't get its "proper launch event"
- Tons of mid size Japanese titles missing (generally very popular in Europe)
- Dreams and WilD mia
- Indies were basically mia too and Gamescom has been a great venue in the past
- Gotta show RDR2, Far Cry 5 and Battlefront 2 somewhere

I'm scared for Dreams though.. is it at E3 at all? On the showfloor i mean?
don't they do paris games week?
Also, called it. E3 is going to be "the masses show, destiny, cod, fifa, battlefield" with maybe a few things here and there. They seem to have liked the psx media coverage since it is just them. Have japanese games for tgs and some big first person stuff for psx

expected for sure. glad to hear them confirm it i guess...
i honestly had no problem with sonys conference. focus on demoing their big games releasing soon for a good chunk of time.
could they have teased a logo of a new game not due for 2 years? sure. but i'd rather them just save it for a show later in the year where they can do a little more than a logo and a little nearer to release.
things sony could have added though:
a little developer talk about their game
some of the smaller titles like Everybodys Golf.
5 minutes discussing the future of their goals and platforms and psn/ps+/psNow

Oh, I get that. They just need to work on the timing between announcing games and when they are actually available to play.
I think they are learning the hard way still with FFVII and KHIII and need to learn to keep everything within a 2 year window at most. (Obviously, devs need to take some responsibility here as well)
