Hmmmm... You left quite a bit out of Sonys conference and Microsofts. You're pretty much just mocking them. MS and Sony had third parties, second party and first party present, which at this current state Nintendo cannot contest. Even if Microsoft didnt develop most of their games they still came at the ready titles in hand. X is not a big time game and neither is Bayonetta...so I have no clue why you boast like it is. I will enjoy it when I buy it, but more people are salivating over FFXV than X. At this rate FFXV itself will boost console sales for Sony in Japan and the west and MS in the west.

Well it's always a bit easier to boast when you get exclusives. Just saying...


If it wasnt for Nintendo Bayonetta would've ceased to exist. No third party in the west is playing ball with Nintendo because they refused to make contact with them about their system specs before the gen started (thus hammering home the fact that Nintendo only thinks about their own vision when they make their consoles). Their only option was a Japanese company who could make a semi-last gen game without any complaints.

I mean..this parody says it all.

I used to watch Nintendos E3's all the time. Their Directs are boring to me.

You haven't seen any direct ever, or just the E3 Direct?

Digital Event is something like MV

Live Conference is something like Concert

which will have more hype??



In many ways it's always a digital event for me, because I can't attend it in person. So I really don't care.

Does anyone know that E3 is an exclusive, industry-only event?
That you will never be able to attend one as simply a gamer alone?
Thus the digital event and the stream of the conference are for the most part the same thing?

The only thing Attendance of E3 is really indicative of is the companies relevance in the industry and participation in the industry.

The only issue with a digital event is media coverage, so from a PR sense its nonsensical to do a digital event only, unless what you have to say caters to the fans who will already be watching and won't care about your product in the media.

Lol, one question, what does this have to do with last years E3? Hold on let me re-read your comment. Yeah.... Nothing, I thought so. 



Nope, traditional press conferences ftw!
