It will fall back but in the long run, if they do this right,.... huge! Do people here realise how big the app market is in Japan? |
Japan is the single biggest smart app market in the world, if I remember correctly, which makes this a potentially huge deal.
And lol at that stock going up and up, just goes to show that all they need to do is change strides and break tradition, which is what I've been wanting them to do for ages. I'm really, really happy about this news and I hope they manage to build a venture for the future and stop themselves from lagging several years behind the competition on almost all fronts; it's not doing them any favors and neither are their fans for making a debackle over this, appologists are harmful to any company and people should be cheering them on.
The greatest irony of it all? In the Wii's heyday, gamers were shouting that "this direction in gaming will steal funding and attention away from the games I enjoy!" and now people are going "Nintendo will divert funds and attention to mobile games and take it away from the games I enjoy!" For someone who's been a long time; it is not lost on me.
