Is it because of their mobile game delay? If so then this seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Well, the value of the stock was already inflated due to the heavy speculation. It's correcting itself a bit.

TBH I don't like Nintendo at all. I want them to go third party. Let's see how they perform in mobile arena.

@padib - With these mobile games development Nintendo is already a third party developer. I know they are not leaving dedicated systems. But let's see how they fare as mobile developer.

My sentiments exactly. This is extremely nonsensical.

Nintendo aren't even making the mobile games though. That's what Dena are doing. So no, Nintendo themselves aren't developing 3rd party games.

Nintendo does develop these games, DeNa provides the backend. I guess this app was made by the Tomodachi Life team. But yeah, Sony has published smartphone games and PC games as well.

Why are people surprised? Nintendos stock rose dramatically when they announced mobile games were coming, of course the opposite is going to happen if it's delayed until March.

They'll probably bounce back fairly quickly... This isn't terribly unusual for bad news.

Honest there is nothing to see here. That's how investors behave. Pretty sure their stocks will rise again very soon.

Dare, did you see how little their stocks went down in the graph I posted?

Nintendo haven't even started selling mobile games and people are already complaining.

Another thing, did you know that Sony published and developed PC games recently and in the past? Examples off the top of my head are Planetside and Everquest. You would be upset if I jumped to conclusions and said that Sony is a 3rd party developer.


Those games were SOE. I've always argued that they were barely connected to SCE, so they don't count. Now someone else has bought them and they're literally no longer a part of Sony.

Anyway, I also recall sony releasing a ratchet & clank game for android, so your point still stands.
