Nintendo Shares Fall After Wii Sales in U.S. Drop 17% (Update1)

 

By Hiroshi Suzuki

April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co., the world’s largest maker of handheld game machines, fell the most in more than two months in Osaka trading after U.S. sales of its Wii video-game console declined for the first time in 14 months.

Nintendo lost 6.6 percent to close at 26,180 yen on the Osaka Securities Exchange, dropping the most since Feb. 2. It was the biggest drag on the MSCI Asia-Pacific Index, while Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 1.7 percent.

Awww some of you guys, can´t wait to see Nintendo "fail" can you. You shouldn´t bother really, even if Wii were to sell zero consoles from this day on, it would still be a roaring hit compared to GC and N64. Remember some people thought that Nintendo would join Sega and go thirdparty a few years ago when they were last. It´s more realistic for you to expect Wii sales to pick up later in the year with great software and Wii motion +.



I find it a bit amusing that Star Scream seem to go way over him or herself to find negative news about Nintendo (even if they´re credible and newsworthy, this one is still news, I give it that) and positive about Sony. Oh well, I guess it still contributes to this site but it would be nice to see some more balance in the reporting from you Star Scream. Don´t get me wrong, you do contribute to this site but it seems to me that you hide a very clear "antiNintendo" attitude behind a facade of being a serious poster.

Your constant trolling of the Wii and apparent enjoyment whenever something negative concerning Nintendo is posted is getting quite annoying.

You should've been banned for your comment from two days ago, but you were merely given a warning.  This time, you won't be treated so mercifully.
