Sony Not Sure on Gamescom Attendance this Year

June 7, 2012 by Alex Co

Sony still hasn’t decided if they’re attending the biggest gaming expo in Europe this year.

E3 isn't even officially done yet and now talk is migrating to the next big videogame convention happening this year. I'm of course, referring to Gamescom.

Speaking of Gamescom, Sony's SCE German communications director Guido Alt admits that a decision has not been made yet if Sony will be attending this year.

We have to judge if it makes sense to exhibit at gamescom every year," said Alt. "We are still negotiating with Koelnmesse. What I can say is that we did not sign a contract so far.

This is, of course, a big deal since Nintendo has already announced that they won't be attending. For reference, Gamescom (again being held in Cologne, Germany) is the world's largest gamig consumer gaming event (yes, bigger than E3) and its latter days are open to the public. 

Then again, if what they're planning on showing at Gamescom is what they showed at this year's E3, I'm guessing people wouldn't mind their absence as much, no?

Would Sony's attendance be a deal-breaker for you if they don't officially attend this year's Gamescom?
