I'm not expecting to see much Nintendo stuff at Square Enix's conference at all. Maybe some stuff for 3DS. Not sure what that has to do with my point though. By choosing the same time slot as Square Enix (or vice versa if you prefer to make that argument), they're hurting each other by splitting E3 viewership. It would have been mutually beneficial to hold their events seperately instead of during the same time slot. |
Yeah... I can't say Nintendo should accomodate the desires of a company that isn't making much effort to cater to Nintendo or its audience, nor do I suspect there will be a lot of overlap in the audiences. If Squeenix cared, it would have figured Nintendo would use its usual time slot; sure, Square Enix is incredibly incompetent, and I concede they are the one company that may be stupid enough to actually be surprised by Nintendo's announcement (thinking is hard), but that's pretty much on them. The Treehouse isn't an excuse either, seeing as how last year it lasted all day, every day. Besides, conferences have overlapped before, and they will overlap again in the future.
In summary, I think you're one of the few who think this, and I think you're making a hill out of a divot. But even if you're right, "meh" sums it up.
