... and? Sony and Microsoft advertise recently released products in events to help boost their sales. Why can't Nintendo?
Of course with big games comes a boost in sales, that is an obvious give-me. But why isn't it that this is being marketed out to a wider audience of people.
"Bold text means I'm right." Obviously conferences are the only issue that Nintendo is facing, so sales are going down. But conferences could help, it takes a quick look at business in general, (automotive,mobile,CES,etc.) to know conferences are good for impressions, and impressions lead to sales.
Obviously I left out the 3DS. The 3DS saw much marketing, through TV/magazine ads, word-of-mouth, and third and first-part support. Like *shock* Nintendo should be doing today with attempting to increase marketing as they did with the 3DS. Conferences are a part marketing.
Mario Kart comes before the E3 event.
Nope.
Sure they were widely held in regard, and as a result had a huge surge of sales until the point where consumers turned to other consoles because of many other reasons.
But Nintendo, who we are talking about did, and in turn had high sales. Also, the presentation of MGS 2 at the conference blew everybody and their mother's mind and actually pushed sales of ZoE.
