Sony has been a mainstay of E3 since the LA expo’s inception in 1995, but the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which runs E3, revealed in a press release on Thursday that PlayStation will miss out on the festivities for the first time ever in 2019. While developers and publishers have dropped out of E3 in years past, the disappearance of the biggest name in console gaming this generation will be a major blow to the show.
The foundation of E3 has shown signs of weakening in recent years, with publishers like EA moving their showcases off the show floor and attempting to reach fans through other means. Nintendo has also abandoned traditional press conferences in recent years, opting to stream pre-recorded videos online instead.
