Just what IS that difference? If the media still covers their announcements in the same breath as Microsoft's and Sony's, it's the same as any other E3. Nintendo might receive less attention because they're not launching new hardware, but the type of conference they hold won't change that.

Big conference for big announces = Small conference for little announces?

I can't even try to explain how a big E3 conference is so better and difference from what Nintendo is doing this year... the media coverage is in another level... there are no comparision.

And yeah... the media will cover more Sony/Mincrosoft than Nintendo for sure... most of things showed by Nintendo will be forgotten by the media because they will not have time to give atention to small events done by Nintendo.

That how the business works.

Hahahaha. Yes, little announcements. All Nintendo has confirmed so far are the successor to the third-best-selling video game of all time and the successor to the highest-rated video game of all time. And Smash Bros which surely nobody cares about, unless it's revealed in a live press conference in which case it's the hypest shit.

And surely that's it, there's no way Nintendo will bring anything else to E3, like the already-confirmed new Pokémon generation releasing globally in 5 months, or the two Zelda games releasing this Holiday season. The media doesn't care about these small-time products, again, unless they're discussed in a live, televised press conference. Then the media would be all over it.

I'd be more than willing to make some kind of sig bet with you if I could even figure out how to phrase it. Nintendo will receive mainstream media attention during E3? But I'm sure you'd come back with, "They will, but not as much as they would have if they had a regular press conference." But there's no way to measure that.
