"Nintendo should go full mobile"

Well, yeah, the only reason we're seeing this drop is because they didn't go full mobile and are only getting a fraction of the revenue from this game.

Stock market speculators cashing in?

its actually kind of a good thing, it dropped because of Nintendo basically blatantly havign to repeatedly explain that they are not getting the majority of revenue from the game. 

Nintendo just bringing people back down to Earth like they always do. they could have BS-ed and made it appear to investors that Pok Go was more of an effect on them than it is but they're straight shooters

Doesn't the publisher usually get a major share, especially when it owns the IP? Or do they need to pay big to google?

It's kinda funny that a lot of people here saw this coming while investors couldn't. VGChartzers are awesome :)

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

i don't think it has much to do with what they said. It's very normal to have a pullback after a big push upwards, people will take profits. Investors aren't stupid, they knew this already.

Nintendo isn't the publisher and they don't own the IP.  That would be the Pokemon Company.  Google and Apple get a large cut, as does the developer, Niantic.

Going full mobile would be so stupid of Nintendo, it's a very fickle market and as long as they don't have a HW dissapointment and a failure they're making a good profit from traditional gaming
