Nintendo Directs are not helping....at all. They need to go big with the press conferences.

They are helping. The January ND for Wii U showing Monolith Soft's X did a great job of generating much needed excitement. This past 3DS one did the same for that system with games like Yoshi's Island, Link to the Past 2, and Bravely Default.

They are helping Nintendo core but not much else which isnt very much. If you can show me at  Direct conference with over 400,000 hits on Youtube it would be appreciated.

A Nintendo Direct attracts 1 million viewers. The record, in October at least (probably continued to grow even), is for the Animal Crossing Direct with over 1.1m viewers. These things are wildly successful. YouTube is not the main distribution channel.


I've seen nintendos page, and 1 million+ was probably the best they've done. Sony's PS4 compilation video had over 28 million views at the highest. Nintendo is in the low six figures. Sonys numbers over the last 5 releases on Youtube have done 500,000k or better. Even Microsoft's Halo 4 video on Youtube did double Nintendos best. The internet is where you impress the core, the casuals can be impressed with commercials and if its not working with them you know what you need to do. Lets hope Iwata doesn't screw Nintendo up even more than he already has.
