| justinian said: Win E3? Whoever "wins" E3 is highly subjective mainly due to fanboyism. E3 is about creating hype. It's about grabbing the attention of the headline writers. Who does this best "wins" E3. It doesn't matter how this is done. It can be games, peripherals or simply announcing facts about a new console. Pretty much every journalists have pushed the Wii U to the background. Games were never really going to be the major factor this time around at E3. It was always going to be about pricing, launch dates and DRM regarding the new consoles. That's what forums around the world are buzzing with today. Games then follow. No matter what Nintendo do today tomorrow's headlines and thereafter will still be dominated by those factors and wii U will be once again pushed to the background because this E3 is far more than about just games and price cuts. A badly selling console written off by most is probably ripe for further attacks of negativity no matter what nintendo does. Let the next few hours tell the story. |
Actually, in terms of Nintendo, people care more about software than spces (CLEARLY). For Sony and Microsoft, specs are everything then games but for Nintendo to have an amazing E3, they would need games (for more than one reason). People don't care about how powerful the Wii U can get or Netflix on Wii U/Other pointless extras on any Nintendo console...ever unless they are a Sony/Microsoft fanboy and want to bash Nintendo using the easiest advantage, features and specs. When it comes to game exclusives, Nintendo can put up a match. Their 1st party IPs are hard to top usually and will sell Wii U if Nintendo does a good job today. "Winning" E3 isn't so much about beating out competition as it is, getting the hype for your products and getting people to want them throughout the year. Whoever does the best job of that "wins" E3.
So, again, Nintendo can "win" E3 for themselves through good games for Wii U since 3DS is already doing amazing.
