Your whole hypothesis here is wrong. Real "hobbyists", and i'm assuming you mean "video game players", will buy a new console if it looks promising at launch, not if it looks promising at the e3 press conference. Real "hobbyists" read reviews, try it out, and then make up their own mind. They don't make up their mind based on a press conference.

I'm not saying what is right or wrong, I'm just describing the state of affairs as I understand it.

When you get out of your little "Nintendo fondling" bubble, you'll actually understand what I'm trying to say.

If these hobbyists are on foreign systems like Playstation and Xbox, and if Nintendo doesn't shake them up when it matters most (E3 conferences), these buyers have little reason to turn their heads when reviews appear.

Proof: I posted a review of ZombiU in this thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=143986&page=1# (which I linked to earlier but you probably didn't bother to read it). Look at how they payed attention to it. They didn't!
