Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all spit out press releases today to make you think they are going to change the world at E3 2009 in June.
Here’s what they had to say:
Microsoft:
“Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment,” said Don Mattrick, senior vice president for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “We’re excited about the momentum that is building in the industry in anticipation of our June 1st media briefing, which will kick off E3 in blockbuster style.”
Sony:
“Sony Computer Entertainment America is looking forward to another great showing at this year’s E3 Expo,” commented Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “The audience of North American-based and foreign media and key industry partners makes E3 Expo an ideal place for us to unveil the latest PlayStation news and products at our press event on June 2.”
Nintendo:
“Nintendo has been a long time attendee of E3 and it has our full support,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO, Nintendo of America. “E3 brings a wide variety of key audiences into contact with products from many companies, including Nintendo. It’s the place where creativity is on display, and as a ‘sneak peak’ for our entire industry it helps generate excitement for gamers around the world.”
Way to play it conservative Microsoft. Unless you unveil some kind of warp drive technology or a time machine, I’m going to be thoroughly disappointed.
This years expo will have over 150 companies showing you what they have lined up for the coming year. I was a little dissapointed with last year’s E3 so let’s hope they have something up their collective sleeves for this year. The expo will run from June 2-4 at the L.A. Convention Center.
