What does it mean to "win" the E3? What is the goal of every company at E3?
The best conference? Reach the most people? Impress the most people? Impress the right people?
It's to impress most right people!
And the right people are for Nintendo.. people WITHOUT a Wii U or a 3DS.
Nintendo can make the best presentation. They have the strongest IP's. I have no doubt about that.
But Nintendo has clearly a disadvantage just because they won't show up on stage to build up hype for non-nintendo fans.
Just Smash Bros could be the strongest IP right now. But how many consoles will it sell at christmas? Most children will probably get the 2/3DS version. And Zelda U won't be released in 2014.
What I am trying to say..: Its possible that we think Nintendo would have won E3 because of the best presentation.
But.. it may not change that much in the long run. I don't think we would be able to beat the PS4 hardware sales this year even with a hyped-as-hell online presentation. (A presentation mainly good for Nintendo Fans.)
And this is coming from a hardcore Nintendo lover. I own a Wii U, not a PS4 or XBox One.
I am still looking forward to this presentation.
