Why wouldn't they choose to release information about these core games at a "Gamers Day" meeting on an arbitrary wednesday in the middle of the year? Being that their target audience for core games would (likely) know very rapidly about the games they announced at an event like this, why should they use the few events a year that get mainstream attention to announce core games?

Indeed, why should these companies even bother to care about their most loyal customers.

How is choosing an event that is appropriate for the demographic they're targeting "Not Caring" about their customers?
Nintendo has released more games in such a short timeframe that targeted their loyal customers (Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, Fire Emblem X: Radiant Dawn and Battalion Wars 2) ... They have released so many of their Big games that people were upset that they haven't demonstrated sequels to huge games they have already released.
At the same time, people are constantly talking about how third party publishers are "Struggling" on the Wii ... So as the Wii sees (much) more information about quality third party games why should Nintendo announce games that aren't going to be released for a year and push these quality third party games to the background?
