They are also cheap and less likely to have errors and awkwardness. The presentation needs to be clean,clear, and concise above all else.
I'm confused. Are you talking about Digital Events? Because those are the things that can be precisely associated with Digital Events and NOT live conferences. Live conference is cheaper than a Digital Event? I don't know about that (even Iwata said DEs were cheaper options). Less errors and awkwardness? How is that so? The presentation needs to be clean, clear, and concise? Can't that be done with a Digital Event?
I'd take anyone, really. I just want Nintendo news and stuff; I don't care about the medium used. I do like the antics presented in Digital Events, though.
@Vee_Flames: im talking about the live conference being more likely to have awkwardness and errors you dummy.
But really though, I don't think there's any objectively good reason for Nintendo to use a live conference. As long as its good. I'd like to think Nintendo has realized that when it comes to E3, people expect a big game announcement or two.
@WebHead: Well, you didn't make that clear. It sounded like you were saying "live conferences are less likely to have errors and awkwardness than Digital Events."
Good to know we're on the same page, then.
@Grumblevolcano Wouldn't it make more sense to announce it before the NEO launches? That way people can make a decision of what to buy instead of just buying the NEO and finding out later that Nintendo is also releasing a new system.
@Octane Yes but Nintendo keeps making it very clear that they are not competing with Sony/Microsoft so no reveal in August because XB1S, no reveal in September because Neo reveal and no reveal in early October because of PSVR and Neo.
@Grumblevolcano I know, but that's just stupid, because they are. Even if it's a Wii 2.0. They are competing for my money for example. I may be getting a NEO if the NX is absolutely not something I'd want. If I didn't know Nintendo had a new system coming? I might've gotten the NEO without even knowing about the NX. I think that as long as it's a home console, it is competing with the other home consoles in some regard, maybe not as much as the XOne and PS4 currently are, but they are very much competing with those consoles.
@Octane I don't even really consider the Xbox One and PS4 to be competing with each other. Not anymore at least. Microsoft is focused on the UWP and becoming a service (with the Scorpio being the premium mid-tier device), not on competing with Sony.
Anyways, to answer the above question, the next Direct probably won't be until the NX is revealed. That being said, it is possible that a Pokemon Direct happens beforehand to formally reveal Synchro for Sun/Moon. However, with how new information has been handled for this entry (which is so unlike any other in the past), they could just reveal it in a video.
@IceClimbers When both system still get the same games, they are still competing. People may still either buy a Xbox One or PS4 to get their gaming fix. Just because they focus on something different doesn't mean that they can't compete on the basic level; that of a home console. When Microsoft disclosed that Tomb Raider deal? Yeah, that's competition. When Sony got their hands on exclusive VR content in Final Fantasy 15? That's competition as well. Marketing, exclusive games and content; it's all based around competition. As long as they're both home consoles that play video games and want to be in your home, then it's no question that they are competing.
