I'm sure it's been said before, but I'll say it again because it seems to need to be repeated.

E3 is the only gaming conference where all the major media sources will be at. When I mean MAJOR media sources I'm not talking about IGN or [put your favorite game media source here]. I'm talking about the bigger ones. The companies that cover more than just games. Media that outputs to the masses not the the specific culture. E3 media is where the masses can hear about games they might be interested in. This is why WiiSports and Wiifit penetrated the mass market so well, because of the mass media focus at E3.

Nintendo has grown smart and know that to produce real tons of money capture the media attention when they are most interested, but the mass media has to have a product they will be interested in. [Insert your core game here] does not appeal to the masses and as such Nintendo will not focus on it. This E3 will be once again be Wii Resort, DSi, WiiWare and mass appeal software. However they may throw a bone to the dedicate fan, but don't expect a whole lot.

Nintendo will garner the most mass market attention, but to the enthusiast gamer will once again be left out. Don't go into this expecting anything more.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
