^My question is if NDA's are meant to protect stock market value, why wouldn't Nintendo release atleast some of the information to boost their stock above 18$ then?
I understand theres a two fold problem here. One side, shareholders, think its positive to manufacture cheaper consoles, and bring more profit (i don't see Apple investors caring that Samsung spends more on their tablets for eg.), whereas the other side, core gamer/ tech heads, thinks OH GOD WERE ALL GONNA DIE!
“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.
