Nintendo “Disappointed” with its E3 Performance

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Nintendo of America sales and marketing boss Cammie Dunaway has revealed that the company was disappointed with its showing at this year’s E3 Media and Business Summit, which drew criticism from some sections of the gaming community, notably core gamers.

“I would say the message is we were disappointed with our performance at E3,” Dunaway told VGChartz. “There were titles like Wario which we think will be really fun titles that we should have showcased.

“We were excited that Mr. Miyamoto made the commitment that Pikmin is coming. It would have been nice if we could have said that on stage. But, we think it was a good recognition for us that we care for our core fans, and not just the new people who are now discovering Nintendo.”

In the wake of Nintendo's E3 press conference the company's American president Reggie Fils-Aime claimed that Nintendo wasn't ignoring the core gamer market, while star designer Shigeru Miyamoto also stressed the importance of the market.

I just don't think they expected the media/gaming backlash they got.

Therefore now they've realised what they showed, was really not catered well to the E3 audience at all.

Nintendos E3 showing was a disaster on so many levels.

I wasn't even sure what Nintendo were trying to show really, they didn't cater for either Hardcore gamers and most shocking the "Core " gamers were left out aswell.

Doesnt really matter though. People will still buy Wii's based on that one game alone bundled with every console and that's it.
