Genuinely hope that is not the reason, because otherwise the deal can go jump off a cliff. I don't see why it would be a factor, considering those are 1P teams Sony have had for years (if not decades) and are funding internally. They cultivated that talent over a long time of many games, how is that a good excuse for another company to consolidate buying massive 3P publishers?
Anyway, I hope this rumor is true. This might be for games that haven't been revealed yet (Hogwarts doesn't need another SoP considering it's got insanely good preorders, for example), maybe another SF6 look and open beta announcement (I hope they show off Cammy this time and maybe some additional single-player side content), another look at Tekken 8 (less likely, but hopeful), and...yeah, some new game reveals.
They may also time it close to PSVR2's release I suppose, I dunno if it's this month. But happy surprise if so.
Nothing to do with ABK. Sony hasn't revealed future first party games because their studios aren't ready yet. They have PSVR 2, Spider Man 2 and Stellar Blade for 2023. Anything else would be a surprise. Don't see any issues here especially since Sony will either hopefully return to E3 or have a separate showcase in June.
I think this showcase will be mostly focused on PSVR 2. I can't see major first party titles or say, an MGS full/timed console exclusive being shown on a State of Play as opposed to this coming June.
