Sony promises Leipzig ‘blockbuster’

SCEE President David Reeves sets sights on Game Convention for key global and Euro announcements

After a solid but unspectacular E3 outing, Sony now plans to dominate proceedings at Leipzig as it concentrates on splitting its key announcements across E3, Games Convention and the Tokyo Games Show.

At an exclusive European media briefing, SCEE president David Reeves told MCV that global announcements and ‘blockbuster’ revelations will emerge from the Leipzig event, and even backed the possibility of a London-based show.

“It’s not just Euro-centric – there will be some global announcements,” said Reeves. “The announcements we make will be more important for the local markets that come to Leipzig.

“And it’s not just Leipzig, it’s Game Convention – if we had one in London we’d do it in London. We have a number of things which is real blockbuster stuff for Europe.”

Reeves also explained that the platform holder will continue to spread its most high profile messages across the three key territories to ensure Sony gets the maximum impact in each of these areas.

“We feel now that we have a pattern globally which is E3, Tokyo Games Show and Leipzig – it gives us three bites of the cherry to come out with our announcements. We cannot tailor all our announcements to July.”

So one has to wonder exactly what we are talking about here, I can see this show turning into a major dick waving contest after the abysmal E3 showings from all involved. This could quite easily be the place to really try and make an impact! Either way, it’s always nice to see a Euro show being treated better each year.
