According to this GamingNexus report, Activision won't be attending E3 at all this year.

"After careful consideration, for business reasons Activision has decided not to participate in any official E3 activities," said the publisher in a statement. "We wish the ESA best of luck with the show."

More soon.

Update: This GI story reckons Activision will be holding a separate event on the same week as the show.
