Fallout after Friday’s news
Maybe you heard that Nintendo’s Wii U didn’t do as well as expected, and that they’ve justdropped sales forecast numbersfor the console from 9 million to 2.8 million. And now that they’re predicting losses for the fiscal year, Nintendo shares have taken a nose dive.
BBCreports that shares fell to as low as 11,935 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday, down some 18 percent. For comparison’s sake, the lowest Nintendo’s share fell some six years back, following the 3DS price cut, was 12,290 yen, saysGamasutra.
Personally, thatNintendo IPs on mobile/tablet talkgives me the heebie jeebies. But they’ve always bounced back. They’ll do that again.
