The second Game Awards show will take place Dec. 3 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, where Mr. Keighley is expecting about 4,000 attendees, compared with 3,500 last year. He projects that the Internet audience will be more than the two million who watched in 2014. While game companies were the only advertisers last year, he has nabbed Verizon as one of the sponsors this year." Oh, and since this is occuring at a Microsoft Theater, I think its safe to expect more annoucements for Xbox and PC than Nintendo this year who wants to be quiet about everything until next year (because of NX). |
The fact that it's at the Microsoft Theater doesn't really mean anything. Nintendo had their World Championship and their Smash Invitational Tournament in the same place (and a lot of their e3 press conferences), but somewhere in the beginning of this year or last year Microsoft chose to change its name from Nokia Theater to Microsoft Theater.
I think it would be best for Nintendo to have a big presence on TGA, because they can reach a far bigger audience, that they'd normally wouldn't reach, than with their directs.
