Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox all to skip E3 2023, according to report

E3 2023 has been hyping itself up as a grand return to form, with the annual event to make its return to Los Angeles after years of cancellations due to covid. However, a report from "multiple knowledgeable sources" over at IGN claims that the big three--Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation, will all be skipping E3 2023. The last E3 to take place, in 2019, saw a lack of support from PlayStation, who did not appear at the convention, and held their own separate press conference outside of E3, though both Nintendo and Xbox featured large booths at E3 2019. Last year also saw both Nintendo and PlayStation not make an appearance at Europe's equivalent annual show, Gamescom. A recent interview with Xbox CEO Phil Spencer reveals that Xbox wants to support E3 and the ESA, but hints at Xbox's press conference merely taking place at a convenient time with E3's event, rather than at the show itself.

Xbox is on the board of the ESA, and I think a successful and healthy ESA is critical to what we're trying to go do. So we place our showcase, like we always have done, at a time where hopefully it's convenient for press and even consumers that are going to the E3 event, and that's what we're trying to do now. We will continue to work with ESA in terms of their plans. As I said, we're on the board, and we want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to help make the E3 successful.

E3 without the big 3 is just an E and E=MC² however MC can mean Minecraft or Microsoft Corporation but they already said they weren't going so E=0² or just Zero

A bit sad to see the comments here considering how influential and anticipated E3 was in the past. I hope we will still get hyped events in the future, Games Awards seems to fill that void.

e3 was for a time where it was hard to reach people with your annoncements, with social media and every company can just announce anything at any time, this type of events are no longer necessary unfortunately, nowadays any developer can just do a random announcement on twitter and probably reach more people than e3.

Eh… Only reason I had that up this last year was to try and win a Steam Deck. E3 was so much more, 3 days of announcements, news, reviews, events… That void is going to be empty for a hot minute…

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
