not even gonna give them a click to read that lolThey said shame like, "It'll be easy to predict what they'll talk about considering what they've been up to these last few months". What exactly has Sony done these last few months that makes their E3 easy to predict? If anything theirs is the least predictable.
These three paragraphs really got me going.
Sony's problem is that thanks to the delay of Uncharted 4 they don't have any major new exclusive planned for this Christmas. The likelihood of suddenly pulling a major new release out of the bag is remote, so instead they'll probably try to tie up a third party game with exclusive content. Star Wars: Battlefront is an obvious contender for this, as well as Destiny expansion The Taken King (aka Comet). Fallout 4, whenever it's released, is another obvious target for Sony (or Microsoft's) wallet.
What timed exclusives there might be is harder to guess, as it's probably too late for it to be any of this year's games. Something from Rockstar Games must surely be a strong contender though, as they currently have no new games scheduled and, as usual, aren't at E3 themselves. In the past they have appeared at other people's media briefings though, and you can bet that both Sony and Microsoft have been banging at their door trying to get a deal for GTA V's story expansion or the rumoured Red Dead Redemption 2. You never know, but maybe Agent is still an ongoing project too.
And yet it may not be wise to get too excited about major Sony revelations, as peculiarly they're not having a media briefing event at Gamescom (the European equivalent of E3) this August. They will be at the Paris Games Week in late October though, which suggests that they're a bit behind with their surprise announcements.
So while they don't come right out and say it, the first bolded part suggests that we shouldn't get excited because Sony "probably won't have anything to announce for the holidays". Yeah, because Persona 5 isn't already floating out there waiting for a release date? Because never has Sony announced a game releasing 4 to 6 months later? That happened just last year. Not to mention, Sony announcing something for the holidays is not the sole measurement of whether or not we should be excited by what they show us.
The second bolded part had me laughing my dog off. So apparently, pushing back a conference to a later event means Sony doesn't have as much to talk about at E3. Because the opposite doesn't seem more likely, right? That they want a big E3 and not have to worry about overlapping those announcements with another conference right around the corner? As if Gamescom has ever been a place where Sony made a bunch of big announcements. Last year's Gamescom was probably the biggest one they've done in awhile, if not ever.
