Well, remember the confusion about Wii Fit Trainer in SSB4 when they first showed her on the showfloor, journalists only? Some tweeted she was an assist trophy, I think two hours later the situaltion still wasn't fully clear, until Nintendo updated the smashbros.com website. That's about the situation I expect from the MS presentation.

As long as everything is clarified the same day I don't see this as a negative, though. I kinda liked  that quirky chaos

I think Nintendo showed how poor trying to do "press" information on the show floor worked at E3. It was a disaster.

Europe is a massive market, to *not* being doing a proper streamed presentation is imho a mistake. They have the cash, they are behind in europe according to many people, and they have got issues with supply...now is the time for them to step it up and show users why they should wait for the XboxOne, rather than buy a PS4 (if available in those countries).

A press conference is a way of getting news out there to the press (because the press are all in one room)... *AND* give this information to the hardcore... in an easy and concise manner. For me thats the important thing, you are able to give this information clearly to everyone.

Really interested to see how MS now tell the world the launch date of their console, quietly... just sounds more of a whimper rather than, we are here to kick ass.
