No E3 Conference for Nintendo this year - Mistake or not?

From the link Pavolink just shared, Forbes - a business publication - is saying things about Nintendo like:

"From the sound of it, it almost seems like Nintendo has contracted a permanent case of stage fright."

"By avoiding a stage show, it seems like Nintendo may not have all that much to say or show compared to their competition."

"Nintendo having taped presentations half the length of their competitor’s only seems to reinforce the notion that they’re not on the same level any more."

" It used to be a yearly three way slug-fest, but now it’s just Microsoft vs. Sony with Nintendo running the risk of being eclipsed in terms of relevance by someone like Oculus."

And the kicker:

"Nintendo has a lot to prove in an increasingly crowded video game space, one where the Xbox One and PS4 are shattering their predecessor’s records, while the Wii U continues to struggle. Nintendo almost seemed like a non-factor at last year’s E3 with their extremely limited presence and lack of a live presentation. It’s unclear why they thought that was a successful way to present themselves, and why they’re doing more of the same this year."

This sound like good coverage to you? This is in FORBES, mind you - this is likely to be the first thing Forbes readers have heard about Nintendo since the last quarterly earnings call and the slashed stock value.

Good choice?

Exactly. Nintendo believes giving the back to press is good. They should have learned now. Remember the Wii addon? That was the press, not us who watchs the directs.

If they want to sell, they need the press, the same one that hyped the Wii as the next thing to get.
