Is the lack of Nintendo Direct a bad sign?

I guess Nintendo finally realized that these directs do not work.
Sales are still low, Most of the directs lately have been blah and with the company's last big bit of info bombing, maybe its really a good thing to end them.

No lol. ND is the best way to communicate with their fanbase. 

really?  the best way?  I bet if I went up to and asked 20 wii u or 3ds owners what a nintendo direct is, maybe one of them would know and the rest wouldn't.  Nintendo would probably have better luck using more traditional game media, but nintendo has never liked releasing any kind of control of their message.  Which is part of the problem with nintendo.  They are way too controlling with information.
