Sony has announced today that they have decided to forego E3, 2019. While the company has not given any official reason for the same; it is being speculated that the decision has something to do with the launch of Sony’s upcoming consoles, the PlayStation 5. Speculations suggest that the company might be wishing to launch the consoles at a date closer to their official release date, rather than months ahead at the E3, 2019.
On the flip side, Microsoft has confirmed their attendance at E3, 2019, by a tweet made from its official XBOX account, thus also ensuring that XBOX shall have a strong presence at the upcoming event; especially due to the lack of a rival in Sony’s PlayStation.
