For once Nintendo actually listened to me and is basically doing this

Thanks Nintendo

By the sound of things MS and Sony should easily beat Nintendo this year.

Even if the NX was going to be revealed at E3 I still think Sony would win. Sony is going to announce Crash Bandicoot 100% and a shit ton of people will be happy. And then we still have Sony Bend, Suckerpunch and probably a 2nd/3rd party exclusive like The Order/Ratchet is going to be announced. And a full blowout for Horizon is also going to get people pumped.

EDIT: Lol I can't believe I forgot God of War. 

ok. let's just pretend that there isn't a company that somehow manages to have a "big show" including one of its own.... five times a year... GDC, E3, Gamescom, TGS and PSX (and that's not even including all the showings they have at every other show year round).

Let's also forget that YouTube channels like PSaccess are there that basically does all year round what a Nintendo direct does in one day.....

Make no mistake, a curated presentation experience isn't the reason Nintendo isn't at every major conferences. 

Sony brings out:

Last of Us 2

PS4 Price drop

A Hideo Kojima Game





This is too easy.

Price drop wouldn't be that big of a thing, its expected. GOW IV and Horizon gameplay are much more important factors IMO.

Yeah it was bad from the premise. OP assumes Nintendo on its good day wins automatically and mainstream still care about Nintendo. Fact is Nintendo has been getting less and less relevant over the years, not more popular. The franchises they use have become predictable, even if they brought back Metroid and it looked awesome, Sony has an answer. Sony's conferences are more exciting and have more surprising announcements and they don't just limit it to E3 season like Nintendo and MS. There's things to look foward to year round with E3, TGS, Gamescom/PGW, PSX.

Playstation is expanding rapidly with PSN now making more money than all of Nintendo, embracing 3rd parties and non-Playstation hardware with PS Now, Vue etc. Nintendo on the other hand feels like they have holed themselves up milking whatever's left of their hardcore fans with Amiibos, and their mobile effort looks to be too little too late, with Miitomo already off the charts.

Nintendo lost the marketshare this gen and now start losing mindshare as well missing E3, not having anything this holiday etc. Whatever NX is it needs to generate Wii level hype because the CoD/Fifa crowd isn't gonna get a Nintendo system just because "hey we do 1080p too now guyz! it looks betta than yo ps4"

Still a chance for Nintendo to "win" if Zelda is really, really good. And just because they won't have anything else playable(which is irrelevant for us anyways) doesn't mean they won't show something else

This :)

"This is too easy" is implying everything that I didn't bother to state.
