A Sony spokesperson has told IGN the decision was made due to the proximity of E3 and Gamescom, before emphasising a more meaningful event could be held during October's Paris Games Week."We're delighted to announce that we will be hosting an international media briefing at Paris Games Week on 27th October," they said. "With the changes this year of E3 taking place a week later and Gamescom taking place earlier, we feel that both PlayStation and the wider industry would benefit from a major news milestone later in the year, during the most important period for gaming."We are excited about our plans and look forward to sharing some exciting announcements. We will share more information closer to the time."It's a surprising move for the company, seeing as Sony has been a constant presence at Gamescom since it began back in 2009. Despite this, the idea of spreading new game announcements out throughout the year doesn't sound like a bad thing to us.In the meantime, Sony will be at E3 this year so for more on that, head over to IGN's wiki to check out the list of rumored and confirmed games at E3 2015 and a chart of E3 2015 live streams and press conferences
