It single handedly doubled their value and Go has so much potential to be much better.  Nintendo have a lot of other IPs that could do well on mobile.  

The audience is just tailor made for them. They are going take out that market like a chubby kid in a cake store. It basically is the Wii/DS audience but several times larger.

According to CNBC.com, Sony's current cap is 38.5 billion and Nintendo's is 32 billion. I expect Sony's to remain fairly steady unless they have either terrible or blockbuster earnings when they report and for Nintendo's to rollercoaster in giant peaks and valleys over the next few weeks, if not months.

And why is that your dream? :)

Nintendo will go past the 30,000 yen range again (stock price) as Pokemon Go grows, but when/if Animal Crossing is also a hit on iOS/Android, that's when their stock will rocket back to the levels it was at in 2007/08, then there will be large separation between them and Sony.

It still has to release in many countries and the most important one (Japan). They could also try to release it in China and Korea, which are the biggest mobile game markets, but right now it's not planned.

So the stocks will take a few more jumps. Safe to say Nintendo shares will be like 1.5x or maybe even 2x more expensive than before PoGo released when everything settles down.

We literally could have made one switching the names in the title today and still been correct. It's pretty likely that Nintendo is going to rise over and fall under Sony quite a few times over the next few weeks.    And why is that your dream? :)

The dream was to be over Sony and rub in the face of its fans. I'll go back to my cave... for now...

You'll have several chances, lol. The 27,000-31,000 range the stock is in now, I think will eventually move to 40,000+ when they release more mobile games and as Pokemon Go amasses more and more users. Also they have tremendous ability to monetize the game with collaborations with other big companies like McDonalds. 

That's already priced into the stock. No reasonable person actually expects Pokemon Go alone to make 20 billion dollars. Pokemon Go was just the catalyst that opened up investors' eyes to Nintendo's potential in mobile. Animal Crossing won't suddenly add another 40 Billion to their market cap.

I think it will, personally though I've always felt Nintendo will be the world's no.1 smartphone app maker/revenue generator if they wanted to be. 

They are going to absolutely kill that market. 

Pokemon Go is just the beginning and even Pokemon Go can be monetized in many more ways. 

This isn't their peak stock price, they could go back to the Wii/DS peak levels at some point in the next couple of years, perhaps higher. 

Well my point is that even after it releases everywhere it still won't justify the prices we saw.  Nintendo only gets at most some 30% of the revenue from GO, their actual growth is radically disproportionate to the stock growth.
