I doubt most who have investments in Nintendo even know that the sales are down. They just aren't hearing Wii-like buzz, are scared of games in general, and have yet to hear that Nintendo has started turning a profit again." I hope you're right. I'm holding my shares until the Q3 report, then I'll reassess. Just hoping the misses on the hardware projections, and the Wii U software projections don't negate the exchange rate & 3DS profits. Would love to see a revision UP for FY2012 profits BACK to 20 Billion Yen...or higher! After all, the projections cut was reportdedly due primarily to the Euro/Yen rate of 100. At 115 I hope they can revise back up for Annual Profit. Also, The Last Starfighter is my 7th favorite movie of all time. There should be a new game made for it. |
I'm going in cautiously too. I hoping there will be a slight revision due to exchange rates which will in turn help profit margins be higher. I'm tired of looking at my shares going down in value. I hope Iwata tomorrow delivers in regards to Pokémon. They need their killer app for both 3DS and Wii U. Overall, the 3DS seems locked for Japan with Dragon Quest VII and Monster Hunter 4 coming in the first half of the year; however, Nintendo cannot only count on Japan for growth and delivering those high sales. Nintendo Direct is a great way to promote a product to gamers; however, their marketing has yet to reach the broader audience.
