Skinner, SamNMax - you fellas still riding the fence? That must hurt. Come on over and give me some support! These are not the droids you are looking for!

Certainly, the press are there and I agree with Skinner's notion that it can't be a bad thing to own these shows with all the surprises they always offer and the excitement it seems to generate. But don't forget that there are more people at E3 than just press. There are developers, distributors, representatives of retail chains, television and film executives, and countless other types of people who have neither the time nor the inclination to keep their fingers firmly on the pulse of the video gaming press like we fans do. Making a giant splash at these shows can artificially boost Nintendo's buzz-factor for all these non-fanatical types and can mean a few better deals made, a few more developers on-board, a few awards (in the case of E3), and... *gasp* even a glowing reception from the press.[/i] This doesn't necessarily need to be in the eventual thread, but I just wanted to point it out as GENIUS. Good stuff, SamNMax. Good stuff. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I know one....ME I Know..I know....It's about the games...Blah Blah Blah Blah Truth is, The regular gamer doesnt give a rats ass about how good the Games are. I mean sure they need some good games. But it's the hype and cool factor that sells to High School and College kids. Lets face it, Nintendo isn't even cool with Grade School kids anymore. My 12 year old sister (6th Grade) said NO ONE has a GC. It's either XBOX or PS2. Now, Nintendo has some great games....Nintendo also has some goodies in the future. But how would a 6th grader know? They wouldnt!!!! Because Nintendo thinks that they are the goddamn CIA!!!! They keep everthing quite TheVISS [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
