Microsoft's press conference took place on June 6, 2011 at 9am PDT (the day before E3). Sony's event will also take place the day before E3. The event focused on the Xbox 360 as Microsoft called it the "Xbox 360 E311 Media Briefing" event.[5] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was shown during Microsoft's press conference.[6]

Sony's press conference took place on June 6, 2011 at 5pm PDT, the day before E3 officially begins. However, the conference was delayed for 16 minutes. The press conference focused on the company's upcoming device PS Vita and the PlayStation 3.
