But that's not what they're saying at all. They're conflating this with a showcase because they don't realize what this is or that Sony isn't just SIE.
The longest Sony has gone between have a State of Play and a Showcase is 163 days.
Since Sony is saying that their big titles are going to hit in 2025/2026, we could have a state of play or we could have a big showcase.
They have to ask themselves does a showcase hit home now or later in the year though? They could do something like they did in 2020 when they did a software showcase in June and a hardware showcase in September.
They have to show the rest of this years slate. As of now they have no games even with a scheduled released date for the rest of the fiscal year, but we know that Concord and Until Dawn are due out this year. They're probably pretty light for the rest of the fiscal year. So any showcase would focus on games coming next year and later, but they've already teased Wolverine, and Venom is supposed to come before Wolverine.
Long story short, they have to balance what they show now verses what they show with PS5 Pro and what they show next year.
