I also heard reasoning that Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese manufactured electronics have caused investors to become shaky. But, a poor E3 showing, vs. Gamestop seeing sales double during E3 week is a weak argument. Pokemon and Smash Bros. are among Nintendo's best selling franchises, I wouldn't exactly call that a "poor" showing. The stock market in itself is volatile, this happens. Hell, it dropped by like 5% after the Lets Go announcements. Most of these investors don't necessarily understand Nintendo or the game industry like they should.

For example, Pokemon Go shot Nintendo's stocks up the roof, when investors should have been investing in Niantic or The Pokemon Company as they get a greater cut than Nintendo. It was a bad evaluation by the market

Gamestop sales doubled after E3 cause that week they had a crazy promo, trade in xbox/ps4 get 250$ towards a switch. Aside from that main reason it went down is cause nintendo es expecting a low shipment then Q1 2017, which doesn't bold well for the 20 million forecast. 

No, the specifically mentioned Switch hardware not by trade ins or anything.

The also mentioned along with that, pre orders from Smash and Pokemon jumped to the top of their databases. And if consumers really are trading in their PS4 or Xbox just to get a Switch...I think that would signal good sings to investors still. And where are you getting this stuff that Nintendo is expecting a low shipment? Tatsumi Kimishima openly said Nintendo has no doubts that they will hit their 20M goal. Can you quit making stuff up please?

"Kimishima-san mentioned that the plan remains to ship twenty million shipments for the console in the current fiscal year (between April 2018 and March 2019), and there are no problems in securing the required production volumes. While it’s true that the price of parts is affected by fluctuations, negotiations are undergoing to any impact on the production costs of these twenty million units."
