Why do we still look forward to Nintendo's E3 directs?

You sound like that. I did answer you, for last time, if strategy works for someone doesn't mean that strategy will works for others too, point that everyone else are doing things in difrent way doesnt mean that Nintendos way is wrong way, I mean numbers (hardware and software sales) tells us without doubt that their strategy works for them, from your point you could also said that its wrong way Nintendo releasing hybrid console because other dont do that.

Also you ignored point that for instance Sony also talked few months ago how they dont want any more to announce games so much in advance and want to have smaller amount of time between announcing and releasing game, so Sony actualy is changing their strategies for time of announcing and releasing games.

So, a strategy that might only for Nintendo? That seems convenient.
You are also ignoring that studios aren't even trying to change; Sony, despite it's changes, isn't, as far as we know, going Nintendo's way but correcting it's excesses.
Their HW strategy and marketing comunication strategy are two different things.

You know why companies don't focus just on the short term (presentations)?
A quote from an article: "With a short-term focused strategy you might win all the battles but still lose the war because you did not fight the right battles."

This is why companies try to focus on more than just the short term; They present what's to come soon and in the future because they want your vision of future (purchases) associated with their products.
Nintendo isn't doing the second part.

What's working for them is not their short-term (presentation) strategy, it's the games they brought to the market last year and the innovative concept.

No, maybe would work for someone else but thats not point, point is that works for Nintendo. Sony is not going Nintendo way, but they also want to have less time between announcing and releasing games.

That really depends from market and business, it's not same for every product and bussines. If Nintendo keep winning in short term constantly (with HW and SW sales), I dont see how can Switch lose war, and Switch is obviously on good path, with HW and SW sales and thats whats more important.

What other companies is doing is irrelevant, again, Nintendo obviously has different approach and strategy that works for them, if Nintendo wanted to do same thing like other compaines, they wouldn't released hybrid on first place.

Actually SW sales also proves that their strategy works, focus on games that will be out in near future that leads to good SW sales.

 

At end, all come that you personally don't like Nintendo strategy and how they operating, and you would love they are more like Sony and MS, that very subjective, but objectivly we can say that Nintendo is doing very well with their different approach and different strategy and that they currently don't have any reason to change anything.
