Nintendo needs to be very careful in China. I have discovered many pirate games and consoles in China. If they do not crack down or figure out a way to prevent Piracy in China, it could cost them billions in revenue...and our investment!!

This console is going to hurt Nintendo more than Xbox 360 and PS3. It is called Vii. Manufactured by Chinese company. It works like wii and cost less.

Nintendo better do something.

Woot! New high of $77.91!

 Nintendo actually does crack down on pirates, actually.

But this is the best thing of about the Wii: the fact that the system is already sold for a profit makes this possible. Even if 90 percent of all Wiis sold are  pirated Viis, and even if 95 percent of all software sold is pirated -- for now, of course, as the Chinese government does appear to be slowly moving forward on enforcing copyrights -- this still represents a profit. 

For example, let's say they sell 2 million Wiis in China over the next five years. I think that's a conservative estimate. What happens? They make money, and that's 2 million more Wiis.  

There also seems to be a big market for gray market Wii's. Nintendo should be making those sales instead of gray marketers. They can pack in a couple games as well, to make sure that some games are bought.

Gray market, are you picking on us old guys again? this stock is insane and still climbing faster.

Another new high! 72500! GOGOGO!

It is about to break $80/share of NTDOY on the Osaka. Now if the european markets don't sell it back down, we may see a nice pop tomorrow. Hope the employment numbers are good on Friday.

closed at $78.5 (i don't think it has been higher than that)

In Japan, Nintendo is ONLY outselling PS3 two to one in October.

Hmmm... should we be worried?
