Out From the Side of My Neck Episode 3: Nintendo's E3 Conference 09 Review

I may be wrong on this, cause I have been many times naturally, but I believe this is one such instance where the E3 outcome is not the market's outcome. If you see the hyperbole for Sony and Microsoft, you kind of get a fantasy type of feeling. It's a kind of "Dreamcasting". Unless they're extremely lucky the momentum they're having now will bite them back in the butts when they under deliver. But that depends on what Nintendo does. They mustn't become reactionary now, that's all really.

Agree only the so called Hardcore gamer watches E3. No regular person cares or even gets to enter it. So E3 is mainly for the companies to see what game. Their peers are excited about, and that's the game the will push this holiday season. Nintendo has a new found confindence. In the past the may would have announce a price cut or something. To silence the hype machine of the other companies. Nintendo knows their controller with it's games are out right now. Let the others get their items out 1.

E3 just isn't quite what Nintendo needs at the moment. I think the best move for them would be to create a separate event at another time of the year and leave E3 behind.

There's so much focus on deliverance and configurations of a press conference, like for instance which game gets shown at which time slot, that it's a little pointless. What we know from E3 is that sometimes great things come from it, and sometimes it misses the mark. It was this way when Halo 1 was showed, and Wii Fit.

Again I agree with you. E3 is now more of let's see what the other guy is doing. The idea that Microsoft gets to go first, and make the big splash. With Sony being last to have the final word. Regardless how good Nintendo's show is it will be always compared to the others. Also if the had their own show some where else. The can introduce their ideas under their own terms.

I kind of like that professional feeling Nintendo gives off. I mean, I don' t really want to keep hearing words like "bada**" to describe my games and stuff :D. Overall, you did pretty good. Just watch the voice editing a little.

Oh, and I do agree with the Nintendo audience out there. WHERE WAS THE LOVE? They clapped after EVERYTHING the guy at Sony said though :D . Personally, I thought Sony did the worst and Microsoft did the best, but not even Micro got the attention Sony did :D .

Thanks I was having problems with my Mic. I plan to fix that when I do my Sony Video. Thanks for watching. I'm hoping to build a audience like movie bob.

Aw no problem. Just because of your personality (basically saying thank you :D) I will be a long time viewer. I'm in it for the long hall!
