No, I don't think you're talking about your opinions. I didn't even mention you in my post...

When I say you, I'm saying it in a hypothetical sense, not that I'm talking directly to you. I know very well what I'm talking about and my post seems pretty sound on my end. It's all a matter of opinion when it gets down to it. If the investors thought it was bad then they thought it was bad and they took out their money. I didn't say anything was wrong with that. I'm saying in my opinion I think it's a knee jerk reaction compared to how other investors treat their stock. But of course, there are some investors who may have thought that Nintendo's stock wasn't going any higher than it was, and took out their money. Buy low, sell high. Which is completely understandable. 

And of course there are investors who stayed and keep Nintendo's stock where it is now. And the hardware and software thing is just one thing. I also mentioned that China tariffs could have affected investors and I think that more than anything had an affect on stock than E3. I'm not saying it sold a bunch of hardware, I'm just going off of what Gamestop said. They singled out Nintendo Switch and Pokemon and Smash. They didn't highlight PS4, or Xbone or any of the software coming from those bases. 

I think you're taking this waaaaay to personal, perhaps you invest in Nintendo stock? If so, I don't think you're stupid or anything. 

No, I'm not taking this personally. I'm just genuinely confused ... xD

My whole point is that the investors are on some things being unreasonable, and then you explain that they are being unreasonable like it's a disagreement. And then I explained "well ok, this thing might make a little sense from their perspective" and then you argued with it but you're arguing against the investors point of view that you already said was unreasonable. I guess I just don't get what you're arguing against. The only thing I think wasn't sound was, I think all consoles have their sales heightened by E3, so I think that's an exaggeration. But even that point I can understand. I think the way investors are thinking of it, they don't like the presentations and they have almost 5 months (we're talking about early June) till they have a consistent basis of extreme growth. So just getting more sales at E3 week, makes sense. 

I'm not really taking it personally, I just don't get what you're arguing for. we seem to agree to some extent, and even the stuff we disagree with is just from the perspective of investors ... or at least what we think they're thinking ... 

Well I'm honestly confused about what you're defending as well. Nothing is black and white, and in instances like this there is no right or wrong, just my opinion on things. I personally think it doesn't make sense for a subjectively bad E3 presentation to be the sole contributor to such a stock drop. This hasn't happened before. There are other factors contributing to this fall. My thing is there are investors that thought it may have been a bad E3 and stock dropped, and those who thought it was okay and are currently upholding Nintendo's current 34K standing. 

I guess thinking from both standpoints does neutralize an argument, so I guess I don't have a strong dispute. But that's natural because it's such a gray area, investing. I don't think I was necessarily trying to argue something, just presenting how I could see both sides, but lean more towards tangibility than pathos. I need a drink.
