Xbox, Nintendo, and Sony Won't Be Part of E3 2023

[Pressure]

I mean even this year lots of companies implied or even right out said they would be there.

Something had to happen in the planning phase that made them pull out.

It's expensive. Folks responsible probably got laid off as well.

That something was the writing on the walls that E3 is over. Some just got the memo late.

Pretty sure its all apart of their marketing budgets. Microsoft isn’t paying the ESA but they are still doing a live event across the street the same day. Nintendo and Sony probably aren’t doing live events but their marketing budgets will be spent on their big games or doing some other consumer facing event

Something that's both exclusive to them and thus have all the shine on them at their moments as well. So it's more cost effective and brighter shine, fully under their own control and say so.

No one watches either

Your ass was watching along with the rest of us, so that's Fox News.

Summer of games is poo, I legit didn't watch. And unless something has changed this year won't be tuning in this year either

E3 can still try to claw their way back in if they really come hard with good 3rd party entries and concrete information on them.

Focus more on the journalism and information vs the spectacle

Its too expensive for publishers, cheaper and just as effective for them to do their own thing now, especially with direct to consumer video showcases

Doesn’t make sense to spend all that money on marketing to still have to share the headlines with multiple other platforms and publishers.
