It Continues... Take Two "skeptical" about Wii U

@Mazty. Stop bashing DK about stocks. We have a thread about that so we don't need to talk about that here. Stocks are a very finnicky thing, so daily variations have little to do with e3 and much more to do with clearly more important factors such as financial reports, stock indexes (nasdaq, nikkei), and currency fluctuations.

As a challenge for you, before you go to those threads, try to see if Sony, with even its magical PS2, saw its stocks jump post e3 2000 (it was in May back then). Try the same with the Wii's announcement in May 2006. In none of these cases will you see a considerable jump, despite the promising nature of both platforms. Hell, even try it with the PS3, or any other gaming company for that matter, and I'd be hard pressed to find any conclusive results. A 2.5% jump in a day is nothing. A 6% rise continuously is another story. Make a thread about it and see you there.

I'm not bashing him; I'm correcting him. He said investors are interested in it and that Sony & MS stocks took a hit after E3. He was wrong with all those claims. 

Sure you could argue the strong Yen as part of the Nintendo stock drop, but that doesn't work due to Sony's stock increase. 

In short, and it was my simple point, the stock reaction to Nintendo at E3 suggests investors are not hopeful. A lot of gamers (watch Invisible Walls) also feel the WiiU is a giant dissapointment.
