Sony, in a not-quite-unprecendented-but-still-very-unusual move, will be skipping E3 this year. And it seems likely that these trailers are going to come with that one piece of information that companies typically reserve for the big stage: the release date, which some are rumoring could be in 2019. It's actually not that far off from Sony's E3 last year, in a curious way. It's a successful strategy for the modern E3: Microsoft has arguably revealed much bigger additions to its console in the form of things like backward compatibility and game pass. Microsoft has the stage to itself this year when it comes to hardware, and that's doubtless going to be the talk of the show.
