This, i dont see how people could really think Direct is adequate IMHO thats not advertisment. The people who watch those are the people who are going to buy Ninty stuff regardless

Nice assumption there! Too bad if not for the Directs I may not have ever gotten Fire Emblem Awakening, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, or Bravely Default!

Nintendo Direct functions as advertising, but to a very small group. Diversified adverstisement is key here: TV, internet, magazines, weekly store ads, etc.

Not that what you said had anything to do with my post you quoted, but surely no one actually believes these Directs are substitutes for traditional advertising methods, especially since Nintendo still uses said advertising methods. Directs are simply a means of announcing their stuff.
