It was bound to happen eventually.
After back-to-back E3 press conferences laced with surprises, there would come a time when Sony would deliver an event that acted more as an update, than a series of shocks.
Yet beneath the surface of PlayStation’s E3 2017 was a lot more depth than many realised.
Indeed, we may have known about most of the games that featured during the firm’s concise 60-minute broadcast, but this was still a stellar line-up. The words ‘Sony Computer Entertainment Presents’ – indicating first-party releases – flashed up on screen more than 12 times during the course of the show. And most of them are due out over the next 18 months.
Yet what we didn’t see was what exactly Sony has up its sleeve to combat the new Xbox One X this Christmas. And as the PS4 looks to broaden out to a wider audience, how it plans to overcome a resurgent Nintendo.
So that’s what we asked the firm’s global boss of sales and marketing, Jim Ryan.
