Its simple logic. The same media that would receive a press release or be in attendance to a conference is watching a ND. They are then creating their own content to splash on their channels in the same manner as before. Best part is those of us who would also want to attend that conference, now can via Youtube and NDs. I also am quite sure Nintendo has done a lot of analysis over the last year and post last E3 to compare to previous years. The simple fact that they are not only continuing with this digital presence and instead use their conference space for hands on demos or in this case a buzz worthy tournament... says a lot. I actually don't understand what you and others think you're missing in this scenario. |
Are they though? I see them as not bothering for several reasons. The news already being out there and not having as much incentive to report it. Yes sites regurgitate a lot of stuff but this is WiiU/Nintendo, there is a low audience for it in the first place. If they got it first hand I think more sites would report what the ND does. That and sites feeling shunned by Nintendo, it feels like they really want to remove themselves from the industry as much as they can ....
Second part, really? You would have thought Nintendo would have learnt a lot since 3DS launch and then the last WiiU and I see no learning, why are you assuming they're making a sound decision this time?
Put simply, this scenario once again closes off attention to anyone but Nintendo fans, it seems the only news we ever hear about outside of Nintendo themselves is WiiU sales.
If Nintendo reached out to the press perhaps their whole image overall would benefit.
