Does anyone even care about sessler?
Hes one of the most respected voices in games and also acts as an voice for the gaming community when Fox news sprouts bullshit about gaming.
Sessler is a nobody who got big because he was on the only game related show on tv back when there was tech tv.People watch for the games not his bald ass!

Semantics, we're talking about the exact same conferences, we just word them differently. I would agree that the typical Nintendo Direct does not get the exposure of one of the conferences the platform companies hold prior to E3. But what kind of gaming news does? Nothing does. Everything is bigger during E3. It's the Super Bowl of gaming. No one is saying that a Nintendo Direct that is published January 17th will get the same press and exposure as a Nintendo conference at E3. What people are logically saying is that a Nintendo Direct published during E3 and made specifically for E3, will get the same amount of exposure and press. Because all of the press is at E3 and everyone will report on it. Furthermore, they are having an event for the media. So again, where is the logic in assuming that if Joe Gamer goes to Gamespot during E3 to look up some E3 news, they won't see a Nintendo section? And this Nintendo section won't be full of hands on impressions, videos, and tidbits from the media event Nintendo will hold? And what, these news outlets will link to Sony/MS pre-E3 conferences, but they won't link to Nintendo Direct videos? The average gamer is not going to look through various gaming news websites for information on each platform, and yet they are going to search for and find streams for these 90 minute conferences? LOL |
Heck, people watch streams of the conferences anyways. They get the stuff as it's reported on the many news websites.
Now, on those websites reporting, we'll get a link to the ND instead of a link to the conference. HUGE difference!
Not just Nintendo but I think you'll all find that away from the usual suspects all 3 will find it hard to compete. It's the tablets that will consume this market and it will be the last generation of consoles

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

That explains why G4's ratings for Xplay fell off the face of the earth after he left right? Now hes even more vocal because of Youtube and other shows.

I don't think you understand that those same publications cover every Nintendo Direct; and that, furthermore, any Nintendo Directs which take place during or around E3 will be treated as part of E3 coverage. They will be functionally no different from a live press conference from the perspective of journalists. You are also unbelievably bad at the internet. Hey, you wanna see Nintendo Directs during E3? Click the "Nintendo" tab on whatever game website your on. That should do the trick. If you haven't seen any Nintendo Directs, it's because you haven't wanted to, and it's honestly outrageously silly to let a little thing like the word "Direct" in place of the word "Conference" determine whether or not you are going to watch Nintendo's E3 show. As for the bolded, I have already offered evidence that Nintendo Directs reach at least as many viewers as Nintendo's past E3 press conferences. Look for yourself if you can figure out how to use YouTube. |
Instead of trying to be condescending, you could actually try to understand what I'm saying. Those who are interested E3 pressers all will watch a live stream at GT, Gamespot, IGN, etc. Using youtube as some sort of measure afterwards is incredibly stupid because that's not where the majority of your viewers are coming.
To respond to your smartass response and being bad at the internet, I've obviously seen coverage of the events (as I mentioned in the post you responded to). I just have never seen an advertised article with easy access to its live happenings.
Nintendo Direct live streams are currently only available through their uStream account. And if you seriously think Forbes, NY Times, WSJ, and USA Today (all of which have written and featured Nintendo's past press conferences) are going to give a Nintendo Direct the same (if any) coverage as a press conference at the biggest game convention in the US.... Well, I don't know how anyone can be so naive.
Nintendo probably embarassed to put Wii U up against PS4 and X720.
Hell Wii U pales even in comparison to PS3 and 360 when it comes to getting multiplats.

He doesnt have his own channel. We don't know how well he'd do on his own. He would probably do very well.

Sorry, but no. Mobile and tablet gaming, by and large, with FEW exceptions, are nothing more than cheaply made, throw-away flash style games, meant to be played in short bursts, because that's all they've got to provide.
Real gamers are never going to stop wanting REAL games to play. Ever. Consoles provide that. Period.

But he does have his own video, a video that has attracted far fewer views than the Nintendo Directs you lambast for not attracting a large enough audience, while you claim that he is a very influential and important figure in games journalism. I just find that ironic.
Almost as ironic as I find your use of comparisons to children's videos as a way to demean Nintendo, while literally every single video on YouTube sans one has fewer hits than a child. Every Sony-, Microsoft-, and Nintendo-related video on YouTube combined probably don't beat the views on that one video.
