Why would they be afraid? I mean the show won't change if they were first either. A new incredible game won't pop up.

Gazondaily3741d ago

Yeah true. There is very little you can change in a matter of hours.

dirkdady3740d ago

No, it's the other way around.
Sony always goes on the second day of E3 with or without microsoft. It's just the way it's always been. It's microsofts the one that decided to go ahead of Sony.

GrmpyolGamer 3741d ago

There are rumors that they pulled the camera out the box and dropped the price at the last second at e3 2013 in reaction to MS announcing price and they pulled Driveclub from the show at e3 2014 because they didn't want to put it against Forza Horizon 2. If these rumors are tru or not who knows? But it probably could b done. But at this point with the market share that the Ps4 has I don't think it would matter if they go first or not

johndoe112113741d ago

Scott Rohde said in an interview 2 years ago that they were highfiving each other and dancing in the aisles when microsoft announced the price for the xbox one. That doesn't show a last minute scramble that shows they knew exactly what they were going to sell the ps4 at and were ecstatic that microsoft was $100 higher.

Why would they not want to put driveclub against froza horizon 2? If those two games are to be previewed on a stage then driveclub looks like a much better game. To this day driveclub is still one of the best, if not the best, looking car racing game ever made. it wasnt as if they were handing out review copies, it was just a stage preview.

PSN_ZeroOnyx3740d ago

Pulling a game from a show at the last minute is one thing, though I doubt that's true. However, you cannot change a bundle and pricing in just hours, this is set weeks before they arrive. Even after M$ announced all their 180', several months wasn't enough time to remove online check-ins/DRM so they had to do it via day 1 patch.

ShadowKnight3741d ago

Afraid? All I wanna see is some great games from both companies including Nintendo :)

GordonKnight3740d ago

That's what E3 is suppose to be about, but fanboys use it to gain ammo for their agenda.

81BX3741d ago

You can change a lot and im almost certain thats why they dont go 1st. You can change whats in box for a console release and price.. i always thought sony was SMART to not go 1st, not afraid!

PSN_ZeroOnyx3740d ago

You can't change that much and to think otherwise is delusional.

GordonKnight3740d ago

As much time that goes into preparing for E3. There are a number of different angles their have ready. If you don't think they have a plan B then you are delusional.

claudionmc3740d ago

you just cannot change an entire business model plus millions of mass production console bundles in 45 minutes. It is not my opinion, it is a fact. You could start working in an international enterprise so you can see what I'm talking about, and stop being so innocent.

81BX3740d ago (Edited 3740d ago )

If ur saying all ps4s were already packaged then ur wrong... and to say an entire business model??? Its simple.... you come up with 2 different price points. It doesnt take an act of congress to change a price for a product that isnt out yet... we can mobilize an entire military in an hr. But u cant change a price point....rocket science.... pure rocket science

It's much harder to go last because it's perceived that your conference needs to outdo the others.

Luckily Sony's conference always blow the competition away so it doesn't matter

You act like it would make a big difference

BullyMangler3741d ago (Edited 3741d ago )

Just because nintendo keeps getting copied

when they go first at E3

dsnt mean sony wont be original
one day

besides disc based software.

Rimeskeem3741d ago

Your comment

Really confuses

Me

johndoe112113741d ago

Not sure if trolling, or mentally challenged.

Kaneki-Ken3740d ago

Ummm, nope. Before there was Wii motion controller, PlayStation move was already be work on in the beginning of the PS2 life cycle so Nintendo is not really that original themselves. The latest Mario Kart games have stolen so of Crash Kart gameplay (Don't remember if it was Tag team racing or Nitro), you may not believe me but if you play it, then you will know. Xbox, Nintendo and Playstation copy each other most of the time so mostly none of them are original.

UltraNova3740d ago

Guys,

I dont know whats more confusing and unexplained, bullymangLer's post or the disagree on a post comprised of single question mark?

Damn...

BullyMangler3740d ago

@kanneki

nopp . .nintendo has been using motion controls in gaming before ps2 was even announced, heck even ps1 . .

(((Kirbys Tilt and Tumble))) Gameboy, son.

Nintendo is looked up on, by Sony, and Micro < fact

izumo_lee3741d ago

These E3 shows are planned months ahead of the actual showing, heck Sony has even mentioned a few times that after every E3 they are planning the next one.

Whether they go first or last doesn't matter cause what they show been ready for months.

GrmpyolGamer 3741d ago

They r planned in advanced but not finalized

PSN_ZeroOnyx3740d ago

Bundles and price are known before E3 is even setup.

Eonjay3741d ago

I would love for them to go first because having to sit through the EA and Ubisoft shows first is painful.

MasterCornholio3741d ago

I have to stay up until 2AM to watch their E3 conferences most of the time. It would be nice if they had their conference earlier that way I don't have to stay up as well.

ninsigma3741d ago

I'm the same. Gotta stay up till the early hours but I actually like that. I generally like Sonys shows the best so I like having them be last and I've seen everyone else's stuff so then I'm eagerly awaiting sonys stuff. I take the day off work the next day so I can watch it xD

ShadowKnight3741d ago (Edited 3741d ago )

I can't wait ninsigma

Double_O_Revan3740d ago

Good news is we wont have to sit through EA this year.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Bethesda will hold another conference.

SpeakTruthAlways3741d ago

Yes sony really are afraid to go first, if MS goes second in an e3 conference, somehow the 2:1 lead ps4 is enjoying over xbox will be reversed in a matter of hours. Lol xD

johndoe112113741d ago

You need to add the / at the end of you statement.

SpeakTruthAlways3741d ago (Edited 3741d ago )

Hahaha is it really that tough for people to understand sarcasm on internet, lol xD

At least you undertstood my sarcasm john :)

OB1Biker3741d ago (Edited 3741d ago )

I suppose that was sarcasm ;)
Too many people really think Sony completely changed everything after Ms conference in 2013.
I dont think you can change much in a few hours except for taking some 'jabs' at the competition of course.

PSN_ZeroOnyx3740d ago

Thank you, someone understands basic business.

MegaRay3741d ago

I cant see someone "speaking the truth" be sarcastic. That why I down voted. Next time choose your birds more carefully

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio15d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
