Well, If you hold your expectations too high you are certain to fall. And stock value doubling doesn't near mean Nintendo really is more valuable than Sony as a whole (since Sony gaming part at some points were more valuable than the whole group).

If you think like this then you would have to say Pokemon Go values just as much as Nintendo as a whole (with all the buildings, HW developed, IP owned, etc).

That's one of the biggest flaws in the concept of Market Capitalization.  Back in the Wii and DS days, Nintendo actually overtook Toyota in market cap for a while.    Total number of ourstanding stock x value per stock = a speculative notion of a company's value.

 

The real take away is that this shows massive investor interest.  The downfall is that the majority of investors are fickle, ignorant and jump on bandwagons faster than political activists on cocaine.

Yep, totally agree... but people with no knowledge will commemorate just because they see it as a good new.

This thread (and Scorpio ones) remind me of people saying Sony fans are horrible for posting how better was Sony doing stuff compared to others...

Well, that is because we are always remembered that Sony fans are the worse than all.
