13 Bold Gaming Predictions For 2019

9. E3 2019 Is The Worst In Years

It's fair to say that the last two E3 shows have been pretty middling affairs, failing to live up to the much-loved "Year of Dreams" that was 2015, with 2018's spate of conferences especially reflecting the awkward wind-down period of the current gaming generation.

It's probably reasonable not to expect 2019 to be much different, sadly, what with the show being held likely 9-ish months before both the Xbox Scarlett and PS5 are unveiled.

In a huge blow for the industry showcase, Sony has already confirmed they won't be appearing next year, and while Microsoft could take advantage of this, June is probably a few months too early to formally unveil the Scarlett.

As such, with the vast majority of the generation's remaining AAA titles already announced, it's likely to be another so-so year for the conference, before 2020 rejuvenates all the excitement with a tidal wave of next-gen hype.
