The wii and DS bubble had to burst eventually. they had some insane years but all good things come to an end. Their stock price is still high anyway.

Nintendo is a sinking ship in the eye of the investors. Stock will keep on dropping and WiiU/3DS will not save it.

Just out of interest, does Nintendo stock historically fall whenever they announce a new platform, or at least a new home console?



 

Based on the graph and on my expectations of Wii U's performation, here are my predictions:

It will go down or stabilize until November 2011. At that moment, buy buy buy because the stock will go up (for the holiday season). After that point, sell at around 1st week of January. The stock will then go down again until November 2012, at which point buy buy buy. In 2013, repeat. In November 2014, buy but this time leave your stock in and let it fly. Exactly 1 year later (January 2015 - 2.5 years after Wii U release, 3.5 years after 3DS release), sell all your Nintendo stock.

I might be totally wrong, but that's what I would do.

 

you know the holydays season doesn't come as a surprise every year. People know it's coming and it's factored in the price of the stock.

What make a stock take a dive or soar in a few days is unexpected stuff...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Damn fickle casuals!

They bought Wii Fit, but when Nintendo came out with another version modelled specifically for intense workouts ala P90X or Insanity, and another with hip-hop dance workouts, and another with hand-weight shells for the Wii remote with aerobic exercises, no one bought those!

And those are the same stupid casuals who bought New Super Mario Bros. in 2006, but when Nintendo came out with NSMB2 in 2009, they didn't touch it!

And they bought Wii Sports, but then when Nintendo made full-fledged co-op action/adventure games with the Wii Sports mechanics, they turned their noses up!

They bought 2D platformers and RPGs, and "non-games" like Brain Age by the millions on DS, but say "talk to the hand" when they make up the brunt of the 3DS effort!

Stupid, stupid Nintendo. Trusting those fickle casuals. They get distracted so easily.

Have you ever shone a laser pointer on the floor in front of a casual? They'll chase it around trying to pick the dot up off the ground! It's hilarious.

And, let's be honest, even hardcore gamers would have bought everythibg you just described. They'd all sell 10-20m.

Hey cool, lets play spot the pattern. Nintendo releases incredible software up to 2008, then there's a little while with worse software releases. Now, they have announced a killer line-up for the end of the year and early 2012.

The stock price was high up until 2008, then it started dropping.

If I had more than $2 to my name, I would buy some Nintendo stock.

Looks like the price is starting to go back up. I believe this is the second day in a row. So maybe investors saw the low price as a good opportunity.
