Nintendo is completely out of touch with reality.

Geoff himself said yesterday 4 million people were watching while Nintendo Direct streams hover around ~50k viewers, it was a bit more during E3 but then again it was E3.

The only ones were truely hurt yesterday was the Award Show themselves.  With 4 million viewers, I would bet that 390,000 thought it was a total pile of trash and the fact that Cranky Kong was one of the only actual things shown was patheic.   Gamers are getting really fed up with teasers and graphic show-off trailers and just want to see some actual gameplay.  Atleast Nintendo did that.

OMG IK!  Just show me the game!  Not a teaser or trailer!
