Sony and Square Enix stock prices have plummeted after Dragon Quest X was revealed for Wii and Wii U yesterday. Sony’s stock prices in particular has been falling for the past three days and today dropped to its lowest level this year. The reason Sony’s stock price dropped is due to the fact that Dragon Quest X wont be appearing on the PlayStation 3.

Seriously how stupid are shareholders? I mean this was known from almost the beginning of the generation yet people are surprised by this :P

And clearly shareholders disagree with the choice of platform, either that or are simply under the same delusion that led to them cutting Nintendo's price when they re-confirmed that they weren't tapping into the iPhone market

What clueless bullshit...

So how come Nintendos stock also dropped today following the announcement...?

Tell you why... the Nikkei dropped today and so did 99% of Japanese companies.... its just a coincidence.

Why do gaming journalists even pretend they have a clue in this area?

no, sony's stock dropped because a big name game is NOT appearing on its systems

Square's stock dropped because a big named game turned out to be a MMO, and based on FF14, stockholders are very sceptical

don't know how nintendo's did, but wouldn' tbe surprised if they also did not drop some due to it being an MMO
