Nintendo takes a hit........it was a critical

[brownninja97]

 

So nintendo is getting shit on in the stock market

 

That happened today which is major, its a massive drop

Weirdly even with the wii doing so well a while bad their shares have gone down and they have gone badly.

 

 

This is has happened as someone at nintendo said that they will not hit 9 million wii u sales and its unlikely that they will sell even 3 million. Its a shame because if nintendo go down then they will drag many great games with them, eg Pokemon, legend of zelda, mar(fuck that fat plumber), bayonetta and many more.

 

If they make a pokemon game on the wii u, just leaf green or something but in hd it will be a console seller defo.

This is our dream since we were childs.

Nintendo doesn't listen

[Imaginaerum]

AMD's still in business, I think Nintendo can manage

[Eddyall]

Developer aren't able to develop good game for the system the Wii proved that, Nintendo shouldn't make another console after the WiiU it's not a good idea for them to continue.

If Nintendo were to go bancrupt, I think they would begin selling some of their IP's like Mario, Pokemon and Legend of Zelda. It probably wouldn't be the same, but atleast the games would have the possibility of living on.

Well then they deserve it those greedy basterds! 

[bacosta1993]

Nintendo will make a ton of money if they port some of there old games to android and ios. It seems like Nintendo just wants to go under honestly.

Nintendo is anything but greedy.

Not going bankrupt for a long time, its hilarious to see articles like "Why Nintendo will go bankrupt in 2014!". In order for that to happen then would need to make like a $10 billion loss in a year, erm no. Anyway If your one of the strange and sadistic people that actually want them to go bust (shame on you!) then I have some news for you.

 

"Buried in reams of financial data is the revelation that Nintendo have 812.8 billion Yen (£6.7/$10.5 billion) in the bank - enough for it to take a 20 billion Yen loss (£163/$257 million) every year until 2052. Then there's almost 469 billion Yen (£3.8/$6.0 billion) held in premises, equipment and investments. When that runs out - we're in the year 2075 by this point - they've got some of the most valuable intellectual property in gaming to sell off before the company goes out of business."

The 3ds is the most successful console ever, its made very cheaply so the profits are very high, where did all the money go?

3DS was sold at a loss until June 2012. Profits are probably not too high (As in no where near Apple levels)

What do you expect them to do? Give them out for free?

When people got mad over the price of the 3ds, they dropped it. When people got mad over the price of the WiiU, they dropped it. Most of their 3ds games are $40 rather than $60. They don't charge you for online play. Nintendo is one of the least greedy game companies I've seen.

Give me the dahm Pokémon game for PC

[LordGarth6]

nintendo's problem is that they are targeting children/young teens with there consoles which was fine until one generation of children/young teens (this one really) what to play the 'grown up games' which the consoles arent powerful enough to do really, so they have lost there target market to sony/microsoft

No point bragging about what Nintendo has in the bank if they have no plans to do anything with it.

 

Other people have also pointed out: "If Nintendo have much this cash, Why aren't they using it to their advantage?"

 

The Wii U could have been better if Nintendo was willing to invest the extra dosh to make a more powerful and therefore, appealing system to customers. The lack of power is one of the main reasons why it's not selling right now.

 

Why didn't they buy Atlus and let Sega come in and take them over? They had the cash and could have drawn in more customers with the persona series etc.

 

Nintendo should be going out there, buying up developers in financial trouble (Capcom) and gain access to valuable and appealing IPs.

 

Sitting around and doing nothing while saying "Please Understand", is insulting to customers who dropped 200$ - 300$ on a Wii U, It's why I've been saying Iwata should go for years because it seems like he does not get the market.

 

This stock drop only further proves my point, Investors are losing faith in Nintendo. They won't go bankrupt for a long time sure, but they may end up a Japanese Gaming version of Yahoo!.

The lack of power is not why it isn't selling. It's not selling because people don't have a reason to buy it. The Xbox One/PS4 have little power compared to many PC's, yet they're selling. The Wii is still the most sold console behind the Playstation 2, and it had little power. Not only that the Wii U sales are picking up now that there are actually games for the darn thing, but it may be too late.

 

Another example is the Vita, I heard before it came out that had a lot of power and would dominate the 3DS, but now it's considered a complete failure. The Gamecube arguably had more power than the PS2 (no load screens) but the PS2 is currently the most sold console.

 

I think Nintendo is fine, AMD has pocket change stock and they're still in business, yet no one here seems too worried about that.

Implying there will be a ninth generation of consoles? Yeah, right. 

 

One could look at it this way; with the phasing out of dedicated video-game consoles on the horizon, it's not really a far fetched thought of Nintendo going the same way as Sega, though due to completely different causes. When a company fails to stay competitive in certain areas, the company will either go out of business or resources will be relocated. The first option is obviously out of the question in Nintendo's case, looking into the foreseeable future.

 

I've never understood the fuzz about larger companies under performing financially from a consumer standpoint. All it seems to boil down to is either brand loyalty or fear in change, or perhaps both. In the unlikely event of Nintendo actually going out of business, your beloved franchises won't disappear, they will be sold of and room will be made for others to innovate in the hardware department. 

 

Carry on.

[consoleconvergence2pc]

well for me the wiiU was bad for games but ill shortly be buying one either new or used for when super smash bros and mario kart 8 comes out.

I'm sure these are going to be the best 2 games out for the console where Nintendo will rely on them to boost sales.

Oh and also maybe bayonetta 2

[Eddyall]

Implying there will be a ninth generation of consoles? Yeah, right. 

 

That too, but I see the Wii and WiiU as not being just a cheap PC with determined spec.

Because that what the other consoles are, made since at some point but not anymore.

When people will realize that in tech.. the actually performance of a company does not relate to increase share value.

Nvidia stock already drop massive some time ago, despite high sales and releasing a great well reviews products. I have already seen other stocks at some point, despite disappointing sales, went up really high.

You can't relate things. That is why it said that tech stock are risky. You don't know what will happen, it all about perception from the investors, speculations and such.

[fade]

Curious how it's doing compared to Sony after the drop.  Anyone that's not a stock noob can enlighten me?

[applebook]

Reaping what you sow. The awfulness of the original Wii has come back to hurt Nintendo and will probably linger for awhile.

But Nintendo needs the funds to pay for Cano's and King Felix's salaries.

Nintendo have f**k tons of money so I highly doubt this is going to effect them.
