Actually, in terms of Nintendo, people care more about software than spces (CLEARLY). For Sony and Microsoft, specs are everything  then games but for Nintendo to have an amazing E3, they would need games (for more than one reason). People don't care about how powerful the Wii U can get or Netflix on Wii U/Other pointless extras on any Nintendo console...ever unless they are a Sony/Microsoft fanboy and want to bash Nintendo using the easiest advantage, features and specs. When it comes to game exclusives, Nintendo can put up a match. Their 1st party IPs are hard to top usually and will sell Wii U if Nintendo does a good job today. "Winning" E3 isn't so much about beating out competition as it is, getting the hype for your products and getting people to want them throughout the year. Whoever does the best job of that "wins" E3.

So, again, Nintendo can "win" E3 for themselves through good games for Wii U since 3DS is already doing amazing. 

Unfortunately not healthy enough. What used to be considered handheld exclusive is leaking into the mobile phone space and I hate that. My gripes about the 3DS hardware aside, mobile/tablet gaming is worse to me. I've pretty much had to give up on playing portable games.

what are your gripes out of curiousity

Everything you said I agree with. But E3 in not only about Nintendo. It's about MS, Sony and Nintendo showing their wares. After all the goods have been shown and the show over all that's left is what is being talked about.

Again we both agree on the bolded bit. I just cannot see how Nintendo can out-hype the PS4 and Xbone - unless they announce a souped-up wii u which is unlikely. I absolutely agree that when it comes to exclusive  games Nintendo can match anyone.

For me Nintendo winning E3 is not the point. Nintendo's job is to drum up hype to sell more wii u consoles. I am sure they will accomplish this. That in itself is a win.
