If the ND only reaches a small amount of Nintendo fans, then why can I read a summary of any given ND ten minutes after the stream ended on every single gaming website I know? Why was pretty much everyone hyped about "A Link to the Past 2" within an hour after the ND ended? I'm sorry, but you severly underestimate the amount of people a Nintendo Direct reaches. |
E3 major announcements flood gaming websites but the major conferences get major media attention.
IE: Sony showed a condensed video on youtube of their PS4 unveiling that reached twenty-eight million people. People saw it on the news and the news where I live was already hyping the 720 launch and talking about how Microsoft and Amazon might be going head to head for setbox domination for the living room. If I was a businessman I would consider ND a cop out. Nintendo is doing exact opposite of what they did last gen which is try to reach as many people as possible. Now they are going niche and seem at peace with that. For them to think ND will get them more exposure is delusional. Nintendo isnt a hot topic on Youtube and ND's never have been.
