Sony has announced it will not participate in the 2027 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), marking the end of the company's nearly six-decade presence at the Las Vegas technology event. According to a Sony spokesperson, both the company and its affiliates will not exhibit at the January show, following a previous report by Nikkei.
Sony's decision to skip CES comes as the company increasingly focuses on entertainment, intellectual property, and technology designed to support creators. This shift in focus is evident in the company's more recent CES presentations. The company has been a long-standing exhibitor at CES since its inception in 1967, with Sony first exhibiting at the show in 1977 when it was still held in Chicago.
Over the years, Sony has made numerous significant presentations and announcements at CES, cementing its place as one of the event's most recognizable exhibitors. Among these highlights are the 1971 premiere of the U-Matic VCR, the 1982 debut of the world's first commercial CD player (CDP-101), the 1991 joint announcement with Nintendo for a proposed PlayStation system, and the 2020 unveiling of the Vision-S electric vehicle prototype.
These presentations showcased Sony's advancements in various technologies, including videocassette recorders, audio formats, gaming consoles, and mobility solutions.
