I skipped over most of the bickering, but here's what's going on. It's just like last year, only this time Nintendo had more expanded-audience stuff to show off so it took up basically the whole time.
Nintendo knows that their core fanbase is paying attention 24/7. They know that there's no need to waste precious E3 time on them, which is about the only time that the mainstream media is paying attention and they can get word of their lighter fare to those intended audiences. If MS and Sony actually had success reaching that audience en masse they'd probably be following the same strategy.
You'll hear more about core titles at dedicated PR events that all the enthusiast press will be at anyway, some time later this year.
