From the 1st of Octobre, Japan increased a consumer tax, from 8 to 10%. This is directly an increase of 2% in every video games product...Or only for the eshop, this is not fully clear to me. Anyway, it has been a long time I had not brought the stock topic here, the share value has taken a strong hit from this, it has been now decreasing for a while because of the combinaison of these 3 events :

- Lite sales not reaching 300.000 at launch, even if we know these is completly stupid.

- The drif issue because some people spread the rumor that the stick was exactly the same but actually no one with serious qualification has really demonstrated it

- and to finish this tax. Last time, years ago still, when japan increased this tax from 5 to 8%, the whole economy of Japan has been stunned for half a year.

I think if the rumour was fake and is making Nintendo loose share value they really should release a statement saying that they adressed the drift problem, but I think they fixed nothing.

To admit publicly that they was been producing for 3 years defective consoles ?

I am a design engineer, and for me it is absolutly obvious that they have fixed it meanwhile, and that it is completly impossible to see for anyone except someone who has access to an industrial laboratory of measurement.
