[NGR] Pre E3, Companies Say “Meh”, Are Just Staying Home

Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have all said that “they really can’t be arsed” attending E3 this year and will instead “probably watch some football, drink beer.”

Not this year

All three companies usually attend the huge event to show off their latest products, with this move suggesting a more apathetic approach to videogame production.

Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer told The Reporter that “every one is just so active there, they ask you questions, expect you to wear a suit.

“It just seems like quite a lot of effort”, he said.

A Sony spokesperson echoed Ballmer’s thoughts and said: “E3? Meh.”

Three keynotes were scheduled, with E3′s organisers saying they’d “find something or other to fill the void.”

So far, eight hours of stock footage has been planned as well as a recording of famed inventor Thomas Edison reciting the alphabet.

It is also thought that another truckload of boothbabes will be brought in to distract attendees and journalists from noticing the utter lack of interesting content.

Nintendo could not be reached for comment, a sign on the headquarters door said: “Away for a bit, call back later.”
