I think so, yeah, even if I prefer Digital Events by a wide margin. Conferences tend to be long and boring, while Digital Events were fun and straight to the point. But for a console presentation, I think they'll do a conference. I just hope they use the Digital Event format for the following years.

I personally want a direct because it's more efficient and entertaining. Why would I care if it's not a press conference? It's not like any of us are going to be attending it in person and it's not like the press are going to ignore the thing that everyone is talking about -- and if they do, then they'll just lose more relevance to youtubers.

^this. Don't care about audience reaction, as the masses don't sway my decisions. Fit the most content and games as you can and get ME excited. For this a direct is by far better.

I hope not, I'd rather they reveal the platform at a time and place it doesn't get flattened by talk of new games and new hardware for everyone else. Use E3 to talk more about it.

EDIT: The talk of PS4k and VR and particular seem like they would drown out another hardware announcement, let alone one thats likely to have much less support than either of those.

Yes, please?! I really want something like this to happen. That said, I would probably faint.

You might have a point. EA has bowed out this year in favor of an event like Nintendo's. All companies might eventually follow suit. And being I am not part of the media or a content creator for youtube (ect) and will never be able to attend, I'm fine with digital events.

The digital events and the Treehouse have become such a good success and improvement for them over all their live showings. NX might have a live show but may be the last Nintendo hardware to have one.

It would make more sense to have a Press Conference over a Digital Event, but knowing Nintendo, it may not be the case :p

Yes. I expect digital events from then on though.

I think they will have Live Press Conference but Digital Event also, and that would best to do.
