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

So, the breakdown:

Most people with Nintendo avatars think this is great because 'they personally are going to be watching it streaming anyway.' Or 'a Smash tournament will be cool!' or 'YAY! Best Buy demos!' (the strongest argument out of the bunch.)

The majority of the rest say: 'This won't get the mainstream attention from the press or people who aren't intense Nintendo fans that it would have gotten if it was a regular conference.'

And the argument against that position is.... 'Smash tournament!'

Most people don't understand. They believe that watching a live event is the same as watching a pre-recorded one just because they are in the other side of the tv/computer.

As a gamer I agree that I have the content, but we are not disscussing this from that side, we are from a bussiness perspective. Nintendo have a great booth and demos at best buy. Yet sales are low, holiday bump was pathetic and the only thing people remind is that Nintendo doesn't have a conference last year.

This is a bussiness, and as a bussiness, this is not the best way.

Now, what if Nintendo made all those events, except the digital one, and change for a live conference. It doesn't need to do one or the other. It can be both.

this, the best buy thing isnt even a good argument IMHO. They've had Wii U in Best Buys since the START and gamestops and targets its done jack
