Yes, the Swine Flu menace lead us to believe that this years’ E3 might be in jeopardy . Following this morning’s Dan Hewitt comment, The Entertainment Software Association brought Microsoft’s Don Mattrick, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime and Sony’s Jack Tretton to speak about their presence at this year’s E3 Expo. “Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "We’re excited about the momentum that is building in the industry in anticipation of our June 1st media briefing, which will kick off E3 in blockbuster style." "Nintendo has been a long time attendee of E3 and it has our full support," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO, Nintendo of America. "E3 brings a wide variety of key audiences into contact with products from many companies, including Nintendo. It’s the place where creativity is on display, and as a ‘sneak peak’ for our entire industry it helps generate excitement for gamers around the world." “Sony Computer Entertainment America is looking forward to another great showing at this year’s E3 Expo,” commented Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “The audience of North American-based and foreign media and key industry partners makes E3 Expo an ideal place for us to unveil the latest PlayStation news and products at our press event on June 2.” E3 2009 will take place from June 2-4, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
