While expecting fans to tune in to the live-streamed event on Monday, March 25th, many Twitter users realized that this ‘State of Play’ program sounds familiar–as many compared it to Nintendo’s well-known Nintendo Direct format. Based on the assumption that it’s going to be a live-streamed presentation, I don’t think it’s odd for the video game fandom to think that way.
Nintendo Directs always bring an array of hype from Nintendo fans–to the point that every tweet they make almost has a group of individuals asking, “when’s the next Nintendo Direct?” Considering PlayStation’s decision to not attend E3 2019 this year, maybe they want to see if their version of Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct format may be more suitable to getting the information to their consumers–in a more ‘enjoyable’ fashion.
Only time will tell if they’ll be able to capture the same magic Nintendo captures with their occasional live-stream presentations. We’ll be sure to keep you all updated on any new announcements, trailers, and information shared from the PlayStation ‘State of Play’ event when it concludes on Monday, March 25th.
