Don't shares ofter drop after an announcment?

Investors on Friday shrugged off the announcement, sending the company’s share price down 6.5%.

Some investors blamed a lack of surprise in the announcement for the lukewarm market response, saying the company raised high expectations by withholding details about the hardware for more than a year.

Nintendo hinted it still has unannounced surprises up its sleeve. “We haven’t shown everything,” a Nintendo spokesman said, adding the company would provide additional information about the Switch next year, before its scheduled launch in March.

Piers Harding-Rolls, head of games research at IHS, said extensive third-party support, along with a price tag below $300, would be key for the console to be a much-needed success for Nintendo.

Investors are always nervious and tend to jump the gun. Do you remember how high Nintendo's shares became with Pokemon Go until Nintendo said "most of the money it's making is not going to us"? Why would you buy thousands or millions of dollars in shares if you don't analize every aspect of that decision?

Well, the Smart Toaster segment has not had large success to date, but long term trends indicate positive future.

If switch i capable of playing Android or IOS games, maybe the controller parts could be used on a regular smartphone too. Nintendo could go full mobile this way by releasing all their games for regular smartphones which would make investors and gamers more than happy. The switch OS will likely be based on one of those two operating systems, else they couldn't have shown Skyrim or advertise with Dena, which is a mobile only company.

A real Mario or Zelda on Iphone would sell out everything ans Nintendo shares could skyrocket.

At least investors shares my feelings.

Most investors are idiots anyway.

Eh, irrelevant. We'll just have to see how the Switch performs in it's first year.

I am looking for an announcement about a 4G model before I get excited for the device. If this is a Wifi only mobile, then it is not going to light up the market, and could very well be the end of Nintendo in the hardware business.

The preview today has me interested. However, I am very scared that they will continue to disregard the consumers desire to be connected. If this is the case, the device holds no future, and if they plan to go the direction of apple/android, then I see Nintendo being in a very, very bad situation in the next 5 years.

All I can continue to say, is, for the sake of Nintendo, and serious gamers I hope they offer a connected version of the Switch.

Investors don;t like rists and this is deffenitely a bold move/console by nintendo and most investors will wait till its to late to invest in something great, but they might be right obviously only time will tell

Nothing new
