Embarrassing, maybe. but I now know the minor titles they are putting out, and I am definitely getting a few because of this conference (SAVE IGA). I can guess a lot of other people are as well.
Really, this is the key. Relatively nobody cared about Konami's conference probably outside of Rising, they knew it and so just sent people out to ramble and show a trailer. The only thing they really spent anything on was the Glee performance. A ton of journalists skipped it, it was going to be an afterthought.
And then it happened.
And now in the GAF-like circles it has gone "viral" (to use an understandable word) and more people are probably seeing it or parts of it than they would have had it worked. (I am of course pretending this is not how it was supposed to go down, but those of us who went through the loop know it was all planned and that there were clues.)
The thing is becoming a legend and people are planning on watching Konami's conference next year just because of it. Kinda what happened to Ubisoft's last year.
