While plausible, there's just 1 problem.

You don't worry about how big your Nintendo Directs are when your home console is in dire straits. Priorities and all.

"media outlets will pay further attention to future ND's, because they will know that nintendo means business with these directs, resulting in more attention from the media when announcing future games"

Though the aforementioned above could happen.

E3's importance is simply for marketing. i believe nintendo isnt desperate about their console at the moment. i believe they are looking at the long term plan where they can have more control over their announcments and more hype
