And the general populace have no idea about the spectacles of the conferences to which you reference, they just get the news via the media etc.
As I said, Nintendo doing press stuff, even with high spectacle, with that list of influencers is fine and something I said they should do, but for the people at home it's irrelevant.
Directs aren't aimed at the media, but people at home. Media can have their own event, probably at the same time and Directs are for people at home.
It's not one or the other. They can have both so easily, at the same time, that way they can actually control the message rather than risk media misreporting as seen with the Wii U reveal.
