Uh...would Sony and MS gamers care about Nintendo's press conference in the 1st place?

I mean they'll watch it sure, but will they go and buy a console for it?


I was damn close to buying a Wii after Nintendos 2010 conference. E3 is where the best show off what they've got. If you go off thinking everyone is ignorant to Nintendo or not trying to keep an open mind you'll have a bad outlook everytime. The big three are the heart and soul of E3 and the third parties are the royal subjects. When one steps down panic will occur because a lot is expected from all of them.


But they will still be there doing everything as every year before with new announcements, videos and demos only thing different is them just breaking the conferences up so each group gets the info they need...


No offense, but I dont trust anything Iwata does with Nintendo. When I was researching Nintendo I realized the time I started backpeddling from Nintendo was when he started working there and even worse when he became the president. Nintendo can break it up  into as many press conferences as they want, but they will be small conferences with their adoring core and not the casuals that Nintendo became so in love with in 2006.

Look at the hits on those. Is that what you call impressive? Those are all of their Nintendo Directs.

Look how many people looked at this trailer thinking the PS4 was imminent.

Look at what happens when Sony shows a quick clip of the highlights of the press conference.

Record numbers for Sony.

5x Nintendos current Youtube subscribers. 

Double their views in millions.

Your net analytics skills leave something to be desired. The second video you linked is called "Playstation 4." Everyone knew there was going to be a Playstation 4, with just that name, as far back as 2005. A simple term to google, no?

Dengle, meanwhile, provided evidence to the effect that various clips of Nintendo Directs are more popular than various clips of actual Nintendo E3 keynotes.


Show me hits. Thats the only evidence.  Its about exposure and Nintendos content just isnt there to gain the exposure they desire with the Wii U. It generally gets the attention of the nintendo faithful which is why the figures are in the low six figures average.
