No offense but it sometimes seems like you'll agree with anybody who casts the Switch in an unfavourable light.

No offence taken 

Cant take offence when its the truth

There are serevall options. You can directly buy on the Tokio Exchange in Yen, OTC with the Symbol  NTDOY in USD. I bought it in Germany at Tradegate in Euro.

So it depends what options your Bank or Broker give to you. 

I'm a rookie and don't understand this stuff. Should I just contact my bank and ask them?

Yes. You need to create an "share-account" at your Bank. After that you can trade with shares for paying a fee. 

The stock is falling since March and its down around 45% from its high this year. 

I bought this week 15 shares for 228€ this week. I think its a good price and Nintendo is paying an attractive dividend .

In the last years I made a lot of money with Ubisoft, EA, Take Two and Activision. 

This is the first Time I bought Nintendo shares.

Yeah, I see in gaming forums that people who expect an NS deluxe in late 2019 are more than those who expect NS lite. 
NS deluxe is so superfluous given the tremendous sales in the West, it is too early for that, it should be released when NS will point signs of decline, better in 4th year, such a revision will be more welcomed then for obvious reasons. 
NS lite is necessary for Japan, where some people treat NS as an expensive handheld - only console, as a result having great sales in general that pale  a lot in comparison to the 3ds though, especially when taking into account its sales in the West, where the majority has embraced the hybrid nature of NS and the great value that it offers, consequently NS selling what 3ds+wiiu was selling and more, but not just that, as a portable console alone it attracts more people than the affordable 3ds owing to the vast superiority of software and hardware, albeit hardware has two flaws, battery life and portability.
NS lite!

I know the lads are annoying you, but I just want to say i agree with you. Travelling atm so don't have time to say more then that. 

I know the guys are bothering you, but I just want to say I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's 4 AM so I have no time to say anymore at the moment. 

You have it easy. I'm sick the past week, 2 hours sleep last night. Travelling all day and now I've arrived I'm bring given medicine that makes me drowsy but I've got to force myself to stay awake until at least 8pm or else I'll wakeup in the middle of the morning. You guys think the console wars are tough, you haven't seen the half of it.

Right? It's just scratching the belly of the Wii too. It's having one steady rise and I don't think it will end as fast as previous years. My guess is next MC it will be close to 200k. That's just a guess. That way I can see it making sense when talking about this years holiday peak being more spread out.



Well considering Super Smash is sold-out in Japan that could be restraining some of the Switch purchases. That could be part of the reason Switch was flat from 50 to 51. I expect there will be a Switch Lite priced at $199 built in controllers handheld only, and a Switch Pro priced at $399 4K Docked 1080P Handheld. $299 for just a new tablet with no Dock and no Joy con's if you just want to upgrade the Tablet portion to the Pro. I think the Lite will release Mid this year and the Pro early 2020.



Just look at that first holiday season of the ds.
Even to this day its mindboggling how big it was

I don't think anything will ever rival DS rise in Japan. It is like GBA rise in US, it just is a bit insane.
