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

most likely a lot of the big marketing will come around fall with wind waker HD and mario kart 

i meant that E3 presentations them selfs are a form of marketing. they have this huge presentation that is streamed to every site, every site has banned and "instant covarage" of E3. the consumers give their full attention because they know the good are coming and then you have sites having "E3" awards a week after the show. its basically a marketing dream. and nintendo wants a bit of that to happen with their nintendo directs
