My stance actually predates last year's September Direct. I started saying this when Nintendo announced the SNES Mini just a few days after last year's E3. We all knew that was a huge announcement and I thought it was common sense that an announcement that big could have been in Nintendo's E3 presentation yet it was absent. That was the biggest hardware seller of last year and it is, obviously, first party. However, even through this year (including reasons why Nintendo's stock dropped), people have said Nintendo has nothing more to announce. I have been very aware that Nintendo has their own plans for announcing games but there are still many stubborn people out there that refuse to accept this. E3 was once the biggest place in gaming for new stories and developments. There are many traditionalists that have yet to let that rhetoric go. |
This has been obvious since the first ND aired and E3 was cut down even publishers like T2 don't bother with E3. It's clear as day NDs would be used for more strategic flow of news and announcements rather than have just one large day dream in one event before waiting another year, E3 is just another ND for Nintendo and has been for a while only difference is that it's the only one that is pretty much scheduled.
People won't let the notion of E3 go because many still think it's more relevant than what it really is when in fact E3 has no bearing on the market what so ever as shown by 2008 and 2010.
