Kudos to having such a large audience for the direct but for me, I am more interested in a type of CSat survey on the direct as a whole. From what I saw online and in this very forum a lot of Nintendo fans were let down and disapointed in the direct. Imo, a large audience is moot if said audience felt blah on that overall show. Not too say it was bad but this definitely was not the knock out performance that people were looking for.

To start a thread beginning with "this is why they charge what they charge" from such a mixed perception of a show is definitely reaching. If this Direct was the reason why Nintendo charges what they charge then no thanks they can keep it.

Enthusiasts who care enough to go on forums and complain about a show like this not meeting their expectations make up a very small fraction of those millions who watched it.

I would agree though that I wouldn't draw a line between Direct viewership and pricing. Nintendo charges what they charge because that is what the market has shown they are willing to pay.
