E3 2020 has been a huge talking point recently with both Geoff Keighley and Sony bowing out of this year’s show. However, Nintendo and Xbox are dead set on making it to this year’s show. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, both Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser and Xbox Executive Phil Spencer reconfirm that both companies will be present at E3 2020. We expect Xbox to hold a traditional press conference, highlighting their Xbox Series X. Nintendo will most likely hold their annual E3 direct to showcase upcoming Switch games to fans. Here are official excerpts from the interview:
Doug Bowser:
“We look forward to participating in E3 2020. It is one of many ideal venues for us this year to interact with people in a social and immersive environment,” Bowser tells THR in an emailed statement. “Every year, we base our approach to E3 on the content we have to share.”
Phil Spencer:
The same day Sony announced it would skip E3, Spencer tweeted affirmation that Xbox would again be in attendance: “Our team is hard at work on E3, we look forward to sharing with all who love to play what’s ahead for us.” Microsoft declined further comment beyond Spencer’s public statement.
