I think Nintendo gets more attention BECAUSE they have no press conference @E3

If Nintendo brings the goods, they will get the attention. If they drop megaton after megaton no one is going to care if they did it on stage or in a streamed video, people will flip their lid either way. If they present just a bunch of awesome and cool stuff, people will pretend that they don't care as usual and nothing will be different.

I concur. The only problem with last year's E3 Direct was that it didn't have enough cool surprises, which are the most effective fuel for the gamer hype machiene.
