[E3 2017] PlayStation Wishes Xbox Good Luck Ahead of Conference; Sarcasm or Sportsmanship?

PlayStation wishing Xbox good luck ahead of the conference is like seeing Sephiroth wishing Cloud luck in battle. It’s amazing.

Sometimes, it’s fun seeing these brands talk to each other on social media regardless of which side we are on. There are times where the disses get hilarious and other times, it tugs our heartstrings.

We’re less than 2 hours away from Microsoft’s E3 conference and PlayStation has wished Xbox good luck ahead of it. Here’s everything that went down.

In a few hours, we’ll see Microsoft’s E3 press conference, while tomorrow it’ll be Sony’s turn to unveil the aces they might have up their sleeves. As the big console manufacturers sharpen their blades and load their big guns to show who’s the big bad boss around, there is still time for sportsmanship.

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s official Twitter account just responded to a tweet by Microsoft, wishing the rivals “good luck out there.” Just a few days ago, Xbox Division Head Phil Spencer tweeted at Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida, wishing him a great E3.

Thanks wolf, appreciate the comments.  And @yosp, hope you have a great E3.

Surely enough, the gloves will come off some time between today and tomorrow, especially with a specific group of enthusiastic gamers, who will inevitable start arguing on “who won” E3 2017 and start a new console war…while Nintendo is minding their own business with their new Switch platform.

Microsoft’s press briefing will start in just a few hours, at 2PM PDT / 5PM EDT. That’s 5AM today for Malaysian time. Sony’s press conference will follow tomorrow afternoon, at 6PM PDT / 9PM EDT. Nintendo will be doing something different from its rivals and instead, they’ll have a livestream on Tuesday at 9AM PDT / 12 PM EDT.

Pokdepinion: Competition is good. Many are looking forward to seeing the brand new Project Scorpio while others are optimistic that Sony Interactive Entertainment will have something big up their sleeves. Either way, it’s a good time to be a gamer.
