In case you doubted: PSX will be an annual event from now on

Doubt it. Las Vegas is just the easiest logistically as a West Coast based subsidiary. Vegas is also one the best conference cities--they have 3 of the biggest conference centers in the US.

It's great that this will become an annual event. I believe the success of this show will motivate Microsoft and Nintendo to do something similar.

Nintendo already has Nintendo direct, so I don't really think they'll have their own show. Microsoft on the other hand might follow this. Maybe if these events gain alot of momentum and fans start talking about it more, then maybe E3 will start getting weaker by the years. However this needs to develop much further and become the norm for it to replace E3. This gen E3 was not the place where Sony and Microsoft revealed their consoles, so maybe E3 is actually starting to lose its importance by a bit.

Cool. I like Sony's spread-out strategy, and I don't think it's negatively impacted their E3.

I can see MS doing a copy-cat thing, but not Nintendo. Also, for attendees this seems to also be a pretty significant networking event for devs big and small--Sony seems the most relevant to host something like that anyway.

MS already had a similar event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(Xbox_show)
 
Personally I don't think this affects E3 a ton, mostly because of the timing. Six months apart is a lot of time, so naturally there would be publishers with announcements/footage etc ready to show in December that they weren't ready to show in June. I think there is room for both.

Also it's clear that not every big publisher was ready or down for this given the lack of EA/Activision/Take-Two/Ubisoft presence in general.
 
This is a great idea from Sony. This way they can have a lot off attention during the holiday season with new announcements.

Las Vegas is only about a 4 hour drive for me. I might go next year.
 
I hope Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and Keighley all have events in the same week like a winter E3 type of thing.

Here's what I'd like to see...

Thursday Night - Inside Xbox Event / X15
Friday Morning/Afternoon - Nintendo Direct
Friday Night - The Game Awards
Saturday - PlayStation Experience

I'd be so hyped
 
I would like to see Nintendo have something similar every year, but smaller and with a focus on playable demos.
 
I hope this doesn't put too much pressure on dev team who have make so many deferent demo for different venue.

No kidding. Not only that, but any serious VGA's from now on, that'd work for them too. This last one was WAAAAY better than PSX. Not even lying.

Is it really the same thing though? Or are you just comparing the awards show to the keynote stream? Even those two are kind of different really. I don't see how a streamed awards show = a 2 day Sony based mini e3 that non gaming media gamers can attend.

I would love it if Nintendo did something similar personally.

Put the Game Awards at the end of that schedule and I love it.

Adam Boyes just confirmed it on twitch that the "Annual PSX" comment during the keynote was not a slip, it will be annual event from now on.

So do you think this will motivate Microsoft to have a similar show again? Nintendo? Will this impact the type of announcements we get at E3 (as if they're saving them for their own show where they can better control the messaging)?

They're going to have to better work out their distribution of it. I was somewhat amused they didn't even have it on their own live event view app. Twitch is a good partner for some stuff, but that macro-blocked, low bitrate, chugging stream is not friendly when a good part of your interactive medias appeal is visual fidelity.

Get the bit streams up, and create a dedicated APP across the platforms to boot up.

I loved the interviews that went well after the keynote, but it also be nice to have second streams of the large panels, even archived. I watched quite a bit of it, and thought "It's too bad this wasn't what G4 did back in the day".
 
It's like a Nintendo Direct and E3 mixed into one. I dig it, but I fear it will make E3 even more dead, although Sony has a lot of studios so maybe not.
 
Aside from the keynote, it's also an event like PAX where gamers get together and enjoy and celebrate PlayStation right?

Why are there so many comparisons to Nintendo Directs? It's not like the future PSX will exclude the gaming community part right? This is could be big.
 
This is great news! Hopefully they change cities every year though, because I'd really like to go next year. From what I've been hearing it turned out to be a pretty fantastic event all around.

Don't invite Square Enix back. It's for their own good.
 
now we got one more event to add to the annual "wait for" pleas from TLG fans.

"Wait for E3, TGS, Jump Fiesta, PAX Prime, Playstation Experience 2016!"
 
It makes so much sense. The other conferences ate so grouped together that you either have to rush or delay AAA announcements. Plus, you can control information flow a lot better at your own event.

With this move I think we're about to see the erosion of E3.

What platform holder wouldn't want a weekend event where the entire gaining industry focuses just on you. Unlike E3 fans can come with little hassle and then checkout all the upcoming games.

Pretty soon it'll be like Blizzard and Blizzcon. Why bother with E3

I expect the others to create something soon.

Because you need more than one event a year to show stuff off. It can't just be PSX and none of the other events, unless there will be multiple PSX's a year.

I doubt it. They can use PSX to showcase the more niche or smaller titles while E3 is for the tonnage.
Click to expand...

Agreed. They didn't announce or unveil a brand new AA game that would be a holiday cornerstone ala Killzone or Uncharted. If their focusis smaller titles and indies and 3rd parties then that would work as well.
 
Awesome, loved the event. I feel like a Sony based event at this time of every year would be beneficial to them.

Exactly. Look at how successful something like BlizzCon is. If the company has enough to show, and they can afford it, having their own conference is a great thing.

I wonder how this will affect E3. Why fight for attention at E3 when you can have all the attention for yourself?

PSX is about fans getting a chance to interact with the games. It's not really a media event. Probably why there weren't many big announcements. E3 is still the media hub.
 
It's a good time of the year to have it for me, not sure they'll be able to sustain the number of game announcements through PSX, E3, TGS and GamesCom.
