They give you trailers, developer interviews and raw information about the software as development progress is made, without the many distractions that otherwise tends to plague promotional broadcasts. However, the great commercial impact that each years E3 conference tend to have proves that a great deal of gamers does in fact not think this way, and is an indicator of how important a strong E3 presentation has become for the company at hand in today's gaming industry. Conclusively, we have once again stumbled across a case of Nintendo overestimating the importance of quality and content at the expense of mass appeal and commercial success. |
As Rol pointed out, E3 2011 didn't stop the 3DS from performing poorly, and E3 2012 didn't help the Wii U, so they must not be having much of an impact for Nintendo atleast. I agree with most everything else though!
