PlayStation Experience has been an enormous success. The first event was more of an experiment really, but it went from strength-to-strength in 2015, suggesting that the US version will return again in December. But it sounds like Sony may be planning a European leg of the popular fan-fest as well, with the snippet buried in a Game Reactor article.
The platform holder is, of course, undecided about whether it will hold a press conference at Gamescom or Paris Games Week this year – but maybe it's biding its time because it's organising its own shindig? That could very well be the case; it used to hold low-key fan gatherings in the UK, but there hasn't been one for a while. Time to bring them back?
Seeing as a large proportion of the PlayStation fanbase is in Europe, it probably makes sense for the platform holder to arrange something like this. The big question is: which city would it hold the event in, and when? London seems like the most obvious venue, but er… Those in continental Europe may be less happy with that.

Why would you want to go to Europe when you could be in Nevada or California? Piff.
On a serious note, this would make sense though, given that Sony has made no announced plans for Gamescom or Paris this year. Have a European PSX somewhere between July and Sep, and keep the NA PSX for Dec.
Screw Japan though, they have TGS and only care about anime boobs and mobile games these days....
So do you think this would be instead of or in addition to an American event? As in would Sony cut down from 4 to 3 big press conferences per year, or would this simply replace the European press conference but there would still be a further one at the American event? If it (a European PSX) ever actually happens of course!
I think it would be in addition to the US event.
It's about time they did it. I think Europe makes up for most game sales on PlayStation. It would make sense to have events in Europe as well. The only issue is that it would be a bit boring if they show the same games from E3 2016 though.
I'd love to go to one of these..how about holding it at the BIC in Dorset?
@Devotion no it doesn't.USA is more valuable than Europe
How about at my house? Daft Punk are playing.
I guess this has swayed my Brexit vote. Nope. It hasn't.
Yeah I could see them skipping both and having PSX early with US and EU booths. Regardless their next event is likely where the PS4K will be revealed.
@playstation1995
Weekly Hardware charts shows that Europe has been ahead of NA in terms of PS4 sales multiple times in the past months. It's a bit up and down. They seem to be pretty close though.
If it was UK based id be trying to get in
so the plan is to hold its own event instead of doing one at gamescon or paris games week?
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE come to Glasgow
Middlesbrough is nice at this time of year
I would definitely visit a PSX on the European continent. A PSX in London, though? Nah, not so much.
@GlynCR We will see if the UK will even stays in the EU.
Hopefully in Huddersfield. Near the shooting location of Happy Valley, a show which everyone loves.
