Nintendo Shares Skyrocket 80% in a matter of days

[Roads55]

pretty crazy, what will this mean for nintendo and the rest of the console market? this is great timing with their new console coming up. pokemon Go seems like one of the best marketing idea's and idea's for a game ever!

"Reuters reports that Nintendo shares rose another 10 percent today and have jumped by 86 percent in just over a week. That rise has translated to a $17 billion increase in Nintendo's market value.

Retuers also added that Nintendo shares set a record for daily trading volume today for an individual stock in Japan.

Google spinoff Niantic Labs developed Pokemon Go in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. Nintendo owns a piece of The Pokemon Company, which may explain why its share price has spiked so dramatically since Pokemon Go's initial release last week."

Fascinating that it is on the heels of iwatas death

 

[bdthrill]

Curious how much Nintendo owns of the Pokemon company. Must be a good chunk based on how much their stock has risen

It's amazing how Nintendo manages to just stumble into billions. There is no way in hell they could have ever imagined what this Pokemon Go shit would become.

People do tend to underestimate nintendos understanding of the business.

Nintendo is a hit or miss company. Remember Virtua boy? They're not scared of failing if we follow the pattern.

What?

Do you not understand how stock prices work or something?
It was a pretty simple question

I think he was referencing how popular the game is among the general population, not the people who are investing in it (that's how I read it anyways).

In other news, Pokemon Go has more active users than twitter. This is the greatest gaming phenomenon since Pacman.

Never mind stock markets and shit.. You need a better grasp of understanding English..

Since overnight popularity tends to wane fairly fast.. these shareholders better sell now.

more users than twitter, might not want to dump it so fast
Edit: phone posting messed it up

Which wouldn't be so funny and addling if it wasn't for the fact that my little brother has been playing this game with his friends for the past 2 1/2 years.

This shit is just a re-skin of a game Google itself helped to create to expand the technological depth of their OS's gaming platform:

This makes so much more sense now. I was shocked to see how quickly the game scaled with users without any major issues.

I welcome our new Google powered Pokemon overlords. If you can some how coordinate drug/sexual exchanges in conjunction with searching for Pokemon, that game will have all the major vice bases covered.

nintendo shares drop 17% in the last couple days. I guess it's just a natural dip from the skyrocketing share price last week.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36880779

even my lazy ass flat mate has been going out all over the place with this game until his GF stole his phone and they nearly broke up. it did seem to crash a lot when i saw him use it. i thought that was a bit strange considering we're in the countryside, and there's not a ton of ppl playing it around here.

Nintendo would be smart to hurry with a better combat system, and more features, while the user base is still so high. I'm interested though at any fallout that google will suffer from them basically having all this information and actual footage of inside people's houses and neighbourhoods. what will they do with all this info?

Probably because some realized it was a bit much that their valuation increased $12bn in less than the two weeks prior to that.

I mean, this gaming phenomenon is unreal, but even Supercell who had 3 of the top 5 grossing games for nearly 2 years straight behind the lead of juggernaut Clash of Clans only grossed $2.3bn in a single year at its peak. They sold for a little over $3bn despite that their revenue was already north of $900m/yr when they sold, IIRC.

Shame Niantic isn't publically traded. Tencent would have owned them for like two weeks already if they were. They're like the fucking autodesk of bad mobile games.
