Strangely, Nintendo stock was down today 1.57%. I don't know if it means anything but I do know that investors are very sharp and quick to react to to things like, product reception and anticipated sales etc. I think it really could've benefitted from a killer app like the Switch 1 had at launch (Zelda BOTW). 

I wonder what that's about. But no, investors are not keen and sharp, not in the games industry. I imagine them as stuck in the dark bumping into things, getting lucky sometimes but often breaking their leg. Not exactly a one to one but I think it's the best analogy, There was 400 million put behind Concord and a good chunk later in dev, there was suits sitting looking at this in a room and believing it was going to be a Marvel films style franchise. 

Yeah, investors just care about money. All they sees is how much a game company is making and decides to throw money that way. They might get some financial guidance, but that's literally how 9/10 investors operate.
