I read it just fine. You say a ND does not reach the exposure of a pre-E3 conference, I was just letting you know how wrong you are.


I said ND does not get the same amount of exposure as an E3 Conference, I never said pre-E3. Also like I stated previously the conferences are streamed live (and re-ran) on national broadcast stations and to my knowledge ND has never been streamed to any network broadcasting stations. So once again read what I said and understand what I'm saying, and you will realize that you are completely wrong. ND is for hardcore fans E3 conferences is for the consumers in general to see what every company is bringing to the table in one convenient sitting.

Semantics, we're talking about the exact same conferences, we just word them differently.

I would agree that the typical Nintendo Direct does not get the exposure of one of the conferences the platform companies hold prior to E3. But what kind of gaming news does? Nothing does. Everything is bigger during E3. It's the Super Bowl of gaming. No one is saying that a Nintendo Direct that is published January 17th will get the same press and exposure as a Nintendo conference at E3. What people are logically saying is that a Nintendo Direct published during E3 and made specifically for E3, will get the same amount of exposure and press. Because all of the press is at E3 and everyone will report on it. Furthermore, they are having an event for the media.

So again, where is the logic in assuming that if Joe Gamer goes to Gamespot during E3 to look up some E3 news, they won't see a Nintendo section? And this Nintendo section won't be full of hands on impressions, videos, and tidbits from the media event Nintendo will hold? And what, these news outlets will link to Sony/MS pre-E3 conferences, but they won't link to Nintendo Direct videos?

The average gamer is not going to look through various gaming news websites for information on each platform, and yet they are going to search for and find streams for these 90 minute conferences? LOL
