They have to say something about it. Although I have a feeling theyll wait for tgs.
I'm not so sure they will. There's no way that Sony is not aware that Japan is becoming increasingly disinterested in console gaming and that games like The Last Guardian are just as powerful for them, if not more so, in the West today. I actually think that TGS will be much like it was last year. A place for Sony to show off its extensive Japanese third-party support.
