I don't think this is the time to invest in Nintendo, one of two things are going to happen

1. Nintendo gets back to making games and gets the 3DS off the ground and wiiU turns out okay and it does almost as good as DS and their stock goes up but not up to former levels

2. Nintendo fails at making a significant amount of games that people care about on their platforms and struggles through this/next gen (however you want to put it) and it's stock slowly falls over the years before they get another chance

right now it could go either way so not the time, apples the one to invest in, Sony if you want higher risk/reward you know the direction they are heading in, but Nintendo you just don't know where they are going and one way is really bad.


I would say there are two good choices. Sony (as well as other Japanese electronic companies) can be a good bet.... barring some natural disaster.

Japanese companies are restructuring themselves as consumer power moves from west to the east.

The economic slow down in the west has been bad for a lot of Japanese companies as this was their main area of export, but recently China has taken over from the USA as the top Japanese importer and this is expected to far exceed USA imports from Japan at it's height in a couple or so years.

Also if the huge amounts of rare earth elements discovery in Japan recently is true that will be a big boost for it's economy and electronic companies.

Apple is making a huge name for itself in China (hell, the fake apple shops says it all) and when analysts make these predictions on a comapany their growth in the growing markets are considered. It seems the other fast emerging economies like Brazil, Russia etc are after fast cars and expensive gadgets.

Companies that depend on a western market to drive it's profits for me is a wait and see hence as much as I like Nintendo and want them to do will I will stay well clear. As always, I could be wrong and Nintendo can make so much cash they remove Apple as the top dog.
