What day is Sony holding their press conference?

And what day is the PC having its press conference?

Does anyone know who will show E3 on TV since it won't be G4?

So what's happening on the 14th again?

I thought I'd made my point with the gif. Let me make it clearer.

I figured Nintendo didn't want to compete with the PS4 console reveal and Sony and Microsoft's respective lineups, but they should've.

They indeed should have. They could have easily stand their own against Sony and Microsoft by showing us their superior game line-up. Nintendo makes and publishes great games, and they would definitely be capable of convincing some people to buy a Wii U if they would show their great games to the world.

What superior game line-up?!?

Zelda Windwaker HD, Zelda U, Smash Bros 4, Xenoblade "X", Bayonetta 2, Mario U, Mario Kart U, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, among others.

Plus an increased amount of 3rd party support (about f-ing time), such as Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag, Batman Arkham Origin and other big multiplats.


Nintendo's own (and exclusive) games have always been the big selling point of their consoles. So far, the WiiU is lacking them, but that's going to change this year.

Same with multiplats. Nintendo always lacked them since the Nintendo 64 era, but that is finally going to change too.

Thing is, that Nintendo needs to get out there and tell the world: "hey, things are changing, we finally have our strong line-up of Nintendo games and we even managed to get a decent amount of quality multiplats this time, check it out!"


Doing a Nintendo Direct instead of an E3 press conference is not a smart move.

That got an audible sound out of me. And I pulled a muscle around the right side of my jaw.

Good job.

LOL I live to serve. 

If Valve really wanted to, they could host a PC release event. They and Blizzard are practically the voices of the PC market anyway. 

Imagine how much business could be drawn up for Microsoft or Sony if they revealed at E3 that they were adopting a sale-type service akin to Steam Sales?

Holy hell. That game no one was buying at $60 a pop anymore? Now its $10. Oh, you need to sell 6 times as more to make a profit? Who cares, you're selling a hundred times as much.

Exaggeration, but you get the point.

Spike TV, it seems.

As with anything, it depends on the execution. For instance, why doesn't Origin offer these same level sales as we see on Steam? Probably because you are required to use Origin for every EA game you play on the PC. They have you as a captive market... they have no need to offer crazy sales to get you to use their service.

I can see the EXACT same thing happening with a Sony/MS service. You'll have to deal with their system if you play any game on their console, so why would they throw any crazy sales? It isn't like you can use another program to download and play games on the X1/PS4, respectively.

Didn't Origin have crazy sales in it's infancy?

Hmmm. I can't say for sure. I know it isn't their standard practice, that's for sure. Steam and GOG have the market on those.

[LPPrince]

Steam and GOG have the right idea.

Steam has its own form of DRM. GOG hasn't any as far as I'm aware.

Gamespot and IGN usually livestream the press confrences.

[LPPrince]

Yeah, along with other publication sites having links to them at least. I usually just go with an IGN stream unless someone else links me to another one, i.e. Gamespot.

Good to know. I'm going to wind up DVR'ing the whole thing on Spike, more than likely, but it is good to have a fail safe/fall back. 

[LPPrince]

I like the streams because they're live, so that way I can see things along with everyone else rather than catching it later.

We're about two weeks away now.
