Longer than that.  But that's because it was overvalued for a few years thanks to massive hype.   However, go take a look at a few major Japanese firms...they are all going down the past year.

They can't all be dropping because of Nintendo's launch figures or the compeition 12 months from now.

Ninty obviously is going to suffer due to the strony Yen, but yeah, I can't see Nintendo stock rising by any significant amount any time soon - the wii u has yet to really show any sign of being "next-gen" and until it does, investors and gamers alike won't be crazy for it. 

Investors don't know what the hell next gen is nor do they care.

You really want to look at a problem, guess who most video game investors get their advice from...Michael Pachter.  Didn't he say a few days ago that Nintendo is irrelevant?

Smart investors research a company before throwing money at it.

Well Pachter has a point here. Nintendo have been flogging the same tired franchises for decades as well as having a 3rd entry into the "gimmick" market. Only time will tell if that will pay off, but considering the reaction in Europe, it looks like people are tired of them.
