Lots of the trends are affected by video game industry factors, and some are affected by factors from other realms. It would seem like the dip since 2008 may be economy related. The recession of 2008 didn't help things on a global scale, and of course it didn't happen too close to gen start, so gen start couldn't offset it I'm thinking.

Hey Seth, do you have a source, I'm trying to maintain a list.

 

"Some laggard stocks rose. Nintendo, which shed
more than half of it value last year, jumped 2.9 percent. "

You can see the bump in their stock on Yahoo

However, while looking for the link I found this link from another source only stating 1.3 percent increase.

I believe Reuters is probably more right than indiatimes site.  Not sure if one site counted after hours trading or what.

Depends if they quote the variation on the Nikkei or the Dow ( Nintendo is quoted in the US too).

it closed up 2.02% today ( but the market was heavilly up).

 

This is Nintendo YTD. The stock underperformed in January ( the market was up 7% but has overperformed it in February so far)
