well SONY is being fucked from all sides and will continue to do so because of Dollar PRINTING
Euro crashing this year will hurt all the countries
Dollar crash in 2 years time will take down everybody
Though Ninty and Sony can take advantage if China lets in video game and with the culture connection they could reap rewards as China will be the biggest economy when Dollar and Euro crash

So I am hearing that Nintendo stock is going up. Does anyone think that if the Wii U is a hit and the 3DS can keep it up that the Nintendo stock can get near or even back to where it was with the Wii and DS?

I don't there's a single market analyst out there predicting this.
While I'm sure the contrarian will be super quick to point out how everyone was wrong about the DS and the Wii, expecting lighting to strike again would be betting on a longshot at best.
I speak as an NTDOY stock holder.

I do not think so either, but I think it has the ability to push up high again. I would be happy with 28-30 a share. Just a waiting game.
What do you think about this Happy Dolphin? After all you did spend hours making this thread! Give us your two cents/

cool
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
