| fastyxx said: I still think it's amusing that the majority of you think these conferences are meant to appeal to the hardcore gamer. That's not what they are for. They're for press and retailers. Don't let their being on TV/streamed fool you. people judge them on the wrong criteria WAY too often. |
meh about 5 years or so I try to make people understand that here and on other VG website...... the showroom it's where it is at or behind close door demo if you have the luxury to get a pass..... otherwise the pressconf is a pre show marketing tool for B2B essentially.... if anything I was surprised by the lack of numbers and mktg analysis especially with windows 8 coming up and cross plat integration.....
more trailers of far away games would be a professional failure...... XB games is not even the main reason MS got in the game in the first place.... everybody new that from the day they announced the first XBox....
year after year it is almost a given that nintendo Should be the best conf in the eyes of gamers then Sony close and MS third.... because it is inherent to their business model respectively and their marketing strategy.... nintendo is a pure gaming company.... sony is a hardware company specialized in entertainement electronics of mid to high range and MS is a oftware and multimedia company which main business is to stay the leader in anything involving computing and computer chips in your daily life not here to talk to PROS about hypothetic game coming in 2015 they are not even publishing..... in that regard each press conf is right on target with what pros should expect from each of them.... IMHO
