I wasn't saying it was likely, I was using it as an example of something that would be a big announcement that wasn't a game announcement, per se. And if you'd paid attention (again, you seem to have completely ignored what I actually said in favour of your own straw interpretation), you'd have noticed that I didn't suggest that any of them were likely, just that they were possibilities. And a deal with Valve is certainly a possibility, since we know that Nintendo wanted the eShop to be compatible with other online distribution services.

I also said nothing about "winning" E3. I spoke about surprises, and specifically, the fact that there's always one significant surprise or another amongst Nintendo's announcements, backed up with specifics. It was in no way a comparison with Sony or MS, and it was in no way a commentary on fan reactions. In fact, I'd like to point out that nowhere did I say that they're holding back a surprise that is favourable to fans. It could be that the surprise is Wii Sports U. I don't know what it'll be, but based on every previous E3, Nintendo has SOMETHING being kept hidden, that is significant.

A deal with Valve is a possibility. Even Sony managed that much. Porting most Steam games to the Wii U is hysterically funny, even as a completely hypothetical example.

Well, now that we've gone from, "If they're tipping their hand about Zelda, Mario, etc. NOW, just imagine what riches must await!" to, "They will announce something," we are in agreement. They will certainly announce... something.
