I prefer Nintendo Direct for the same reason why I preferred their digital event over Sony's event. Nintendo can trim the fat, make it more about the games, and allow better footage of their games to be seen without the camera panning to the audience and there is next to no pandering to a audience. Also it let Nintendo do things that you couldn't do like the robot chicken intro and the fight scene between Iwata and Reggie.
PSX featured lots of developers talking awkwardly, and people trying to pump up the audience and to pander to them. The awkward pauses, the audience giving scattered applause because they felt they needed to. Random suits trying to look casual to cater to the fans etc. Did you see the PlayStation boss ? He didn't look comfortable at all. Sony could have shown the same things but in a tighter fashion and could have avoided all the lulls from the crowd if they did a direct event like Nintendo does.
