If business analysts were particularly good at picking investments they would be wealthy investors not business analysts ...
One thing you have to realize when reading people’s market predictions is that analysts and investors tend to be backwards looking, and (as a result) tend to predict "Doom" for an investment when it is at or near its bottom and "Greatness" for an investment when it is at or near its top.
To make matters worse, most of these analysts have too short of a timeline when they're evaluating investments ...
In the case of Nintendo there is little doubt that when they revise their forcast (probably at the end of September) to account for the price cut there stock is going to take a beating; and this could be made dramatically worse by a market that is down (in general). 3 years from now, when the 3DS has probably sold between 45 and 60 Million units, the Wii U has sold between 20 and 40 Million units, Nintendo is selling a crap-ton of software, and Nintendo has to revise their forcasts to the upside their stock will (probably) start looking a little over-valued. If you know this is comming, and take advantage of the (potential) buying opportunity, then you will probably see a very good return in a couple of years.
