I thought this was pretty funny. Sony used to own a lot of shares in DeNA, but sold their stake in the company about two years ago.

I think you're just grossly underestimating the effort required to make a mobile game. How much do you think the budget is on something like the latest Kirby game?

The quick answer to your question is that it is because the fans have not studied the details of what was said in the conference, whereas business investors will have.

They have (quite understandably) concerns that Nintendo will be 'selling out' - and it will ruin the value of their ip. There are concerns that Nintendo will be dedicating less resources to console gaming - or maybe quit console gaming entirely. They are concerned that the gain from moving to mobile will only be short term.

If they had studied the details they'd know that Nintendo has no intention of giving up the dedicated console business, and they have no intention of porting existing titles to mobile, because Nintendo, like their fans, do not want to cheapen their ip by delivering a sub-par experience that is limited by the controls of the devices they're porting to. They have not lost their belief that dedicated console gaming has a strong future.

Bolded: A very interesting point, (as is your final paragraph) especially when Iwata pointed out:

"Last year, an unprecedented thing in the history of the Japanese video game market happened: Five titles for Nintendo 3DS sold more than two million copies each in the latter six-month period of 2014. As this record-breaking incident attests, video game software sales have been progressing smoothly on dedicated video game hardware even after smart devices have become widespread in this country."

No way are they going to ditch handheld for mobile when they've proved that handheld and mobile can co-exist in this way in Japan. Very sensible, then, to get into both.

then ok cool should be your reply for everything. because you have nothing until you buy it. no blood borne, no xenoblade wiiu etc.

and if you already have something there is probably no news at all.

btw rising stocks = money for nintendo 

I'm more interested in the next console. If this venture into mobile means revenue, hope much of that dosh goes towards making more great games.

This! So much this! My god, this is why I usually watch the person posting before reading because I know I'll get angry if I read their post.

Why do people keep changing this thread title?

The thread is about how/why fans are reacting negatively to the news, despite stock jumping significantly. Read the OP. Read the discussion in the thread. Smeags changed the title back to how it was originally planned, so that it fits in line with discussion and the OP.

Leave it as it is. Stop screwing around.

I've been looking at various threads here and on gag but I haven't really seen any upset Nintendo fans, I'm not sure how u came to that conclusion?

I clearly was upset, and now I've moved on from being upset to being very VERY skeptical. Nintendo fans have gone into a wait and see mode, that is all.
