Why Isn't Sony Bringing E3 07 Coverage to PS3 like Microsoft?

In a move that may baffle many, Sony has yet to announce any plans for the PS3 for E3 compared to what Microsoft has for the Xbox 360 to bring E3 home.

So now the question comes up, with Microsoft getting ready to do it all over again for the second year in a row, where is the Sony announcement of E3 content?

With the PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Store yet to really pick up a lot of steam this could be a great opportunity for Sony to show that they have what it takes to have an always-evolving and updating network which can compete and beat the Xbox 360.

something like this should head over to the Playstation.Blog and let them know.

I'd like to see HD footage. I'll be watching E3 07 Live on G4tv for most of my coverage though.

InMyOpinion6904d ago

Who wouldn't want something like that? It rocks. I hope they have something similar.

FreeMonk6904d ago

With E3 being a trade event early, and with this year being tighter ans smaller than ever, the only way to gain access to a consoles demo's and HD trailers is over Live! or the PS3 network.

MS did extremly well last year with this feature with demo's of Lost Planet and Test Drive, and trailers of Lost Oddysee, Banjo, Assassin's Creed etc.

If it is indeed true, and Sony have not got anything in place like MS have, they need to sort something out now, because at the end of the day it's public that will be buying there games, not the press who attend E3, and a demo or trailer of a game can potential sell more copies when it gets released due just to that that trailer or demo.

SDS Gamerfiend6904d ago

Well lets see you play the demos too! I`ll be playing them on my XBOX 360! It`s a good time to be a 360 owner! Is anybody with me?

drtysouf216904d ago

I own all 3 consoles so i'll be playing demos too.

n4gbrane6904d ago

i believe this has been commented on before, but Sony has no control over demos from third parties. either the third party turns one over as a means to help sell their product or they don't. In the short run it sounds like many third party games are created first for the 360 and then ported over which means it is much more likely that from the beginning they would be building demos for the native piece of hardware... Of course Sony controls it's own first party titles and demos from RFOM and Motorstorm, ridgracer etc... show that they are willing to put them out there... (MLB07 is a noted exception but considering it's simply a port of a ps2 game I wouldn't have used it as a demo either)---

Omegasyde6904d ago

E3 coverage will be on youtube the next day... Streaming? I don't think Sony is ready for that on PSN. MS has done a awesome job.

It would really be awesome if they streamed the Killzone 2 show.

THX71686904d ago

Schweet! I have that same HDTV. I have the 58" and it is gorgeous. I purchased a different stand though. The store that I bought the TV from didn't have the original stand in stock. I love that it has two HDMI inputs. One for my cable box and the other to switch off between my PS3 and my 360.

gaffyh6904d ago (Edited 6904d ago )

Although I would expect Sony to do this, a lot of people don't know much about their consoles and so don't really know much about E3.

Proof here - http://forums.gametrailers....

But I suspect everyone who really cares about E3 will be watching live streams and trailers on the internet anyway. Most likely PSN will get a lot of Trailers/Demos during E3 (it got a trailer from Ubidays 07), but you never know Sony they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot.

SDS Gamerfiend6904d ago (Edited 6903d ago )

All you do is look for bad news on the 360 all day long! you also trash the living hell out of it so why oh why do you even have a 360?!

@below, you are the lamest! I don`t have more than one account! Don`t hate cuz people don`t see eye to eye with ur drama. U are biased when it comes to the 360! That`s why in ur pic it shows home and you have the ps3 first! When you know damn well that you play the 360 more cuz that`s where the games are LOL! Like I said b4, why do you even have a 360?! Thanks for helping to make it the #1 selling next gen system by the way LOL!!! And if I had more accounts like you say, then don`t you think that ur bubbles would be gone by now?! DUH!

drtysouf216904d ago (Edited 6903d ago )

and if you counted all my negative and positive stories for both 360 and PS3 they are about even. So once again you should keep your mouth shut unless your speaking facts. Prove me wrong.

Edit:
LOL i like how you use your multiple N4G accounts to try to disagree with me and agree with yourself. If i'm wrong someone step up and show me! Until then i'm right!

Edit2: lol Your a funny guy! Here's a bubble for you. I could careless how many agree or disagree's i get. If ignorant fanboys want to agree with you then more power to them. You still sit their talking but you ain't proved me wrong. Let me make it clear for you....SHOW ME IN ANY OF MY 584 COMMENTS WHERE I'VE TRASHED THE 360. AND COUNT ALL 172 OF MY STORIES AND GIVE ME THE EXACT NUMBER RATIO OF POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE PS3 & 360 STORIES. Thats not even counting what i have tipped. i've already done it and you'll be surprised at what you find. I like how you avoid doing it. Man up and admit your wrong! I've never lied on here i've always stated PS3 is my favorite look at my profile but i also love my 360 and the Wii thats why i'm an intelligent gamer and your a ignorant fanboy and thats what separates us so i don't expect you to understand.

PS i'm not gonna dispute this with you anymore i have better things to do and i feel like i'm getting less intelligent by trying to conversate with someone on such a lower level. So you enjoy your 360 and continue bashing the PS3 because your afraid of whats about to happen in this console war and i'll continue to enjoy playing all 3 of my consoles and enjoying what i receive because of this so called war.

Well said drtysouf21! that SDS guy is just a douchebag and a pathetic a$$ fanboy, fvck him

I rather enjoy getting MOST of the content off the websites however I don't think Sony is going to be idle when it comes to demos, yet they can prove me wrong.

@mp

Well...No cable or satellite, so that's out...allows me more time and money towards other hobbies

Why do people just come into this article and just start disagreeing with people stating an obivous opinion, do they really have nothing better to do in life?

drtysouf216904d ago

you should check out E3 07 live on G4tv. They have 15 hours of coverage and it'll all be on my tivo!

aiphanes6904d ago

I agree they have some question like this asked over at the playstation.blog...but i would like to see exlusive HD videos of all the Sony E3 stuff on the PSN network.

sjappie6904d ago

"It should be interesting to see if the PS3 gets the same demos as the Xbox 360 and which console can get them available first over their respective networks whether it be Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network".

Well, we all know the answer to that one.

prayforjoejoe6904d ago

As much as I hate their site, use Gamespot, they will have all three press conferences and live coverage everyday.

InMyOpinion6904d ago

IGN Insider is also very good during big events like E3. Updated frequently and in my opinion not as messy info design as Gamespot (even though they hav gotten better).

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7729d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7737d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199237d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga36d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman36d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger37d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7537d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit37d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
