E 4 All not the flop the gaming media has made it to be.

You say no matter if it's the first year, and THEN point out that most gamers stayed away expecting a flop? Wouldn't being a first year, and therefore not established, CAUSE that expectation?

That's excactly my point. Many expected it would be overshadowed by E3, TGS, Leipzig and most importantly, Nintendo's own earth-shattering conference a week-or-so ago. They thought Nintendo had nothing new to show, and they were they only hardware company attending.

I'm referring to the part where you dismiss the first year being a factor. You can't honestly tell me that being the first year, and therefore unestablished as a viable show, didn't contribute to the worry that it would be overshadowed by other shows, and then caused some companies to cut back on offerings, or stay away completely, due to that worry.
