I personally think its a cop out and cowardice because they wont be able to top Sony and Microsoft. They wont play their game so they want to run and hide on Youtube.

Oh man, that's just plain ignorant. Seriously. It's called strategy. It's what Nintendo did with both Wii and DS - and look how that turned out. I don't say I agree with what Nintendo is planning, and I can't say it's a great idea, but you're going too far here. Fact is they don't have a new machine to unveil, but that doesn't mean Nintendo are cowards for not facing MS and Sony head on.

What would have happened to Afghanistan if they took Soviet head on? Vietnam vs USA. Hannibal vs the Romans. If you have underwhelming tech, are in a inferior position, can't take on the "enemy" head on you out-maneuver them in some other way. And that's what Nintendo is TRYING to do. I'm not saying they'll succeed, but that's what they are trying to do. So calling them for hiding cowards are plain ignorant.

Um....this is a 180 from what Nintendo did with the Wii. Nintendo actually had a product people who dont game were interested in. It was hand to hand combat with news stations, shows, tv, viral commercials. People didnt know what to make of the Wii U's and the casuals werent going to trade in their Ipads for it. This isn't ignorance, this is an understanding that Nintendo is in for a world of hurt at E3 when it comes to marketing their product to the masses. Sony and Microsoft will get huge buzz because they were on the grand stage and Nintendo will be just....well...there. The conference goes on Youtube as well you because it gets recorded and sent up it will be in more places and will reach more people. If you want to see Nintendos "viral marketing" you have to go to Nintendo. Tell me who just got more exposure?.......Yeah...I am not the one who is ignorant. You just have a blind belief in Nintendo without looking at the facts of their Youtube track record. 

Like I said to pezus; when I'm talking about Wii in this instance I'm talking about them trying something new, using a new kind of strategy. And why did casuals want a Wii? Because it was a new thing. I don't have blind faith in Nintendo. If you actually read what I wrote you'd see I wasn't sure if this was a great idea by Nintendo. It really seems as if my whole post went over your head. I suggest you read it again.

I said that this was a new strategy by Nintendo to counter MS and Sony, I never said it was going to work or that it was a good idea. I only called you out for calling them cowards.
