Friday, March 15, 3:59 PM NPD's latest round of bleak video game sales data is leading Electronic Arts (EA -2.4%), Activision (ATVI -2.6%), and Take-Two (TTWO -1.6%) to close lower. A 27% Y/Y drop in U.S. physical retail game sales was worse than the normalized 19% drop seen in January, as demand remains tepid ahead of this fall's PlayStation (SNE) and Xbox (MSFT) refreshes. Console sales fell 36%, worse than January's normalized 17%. The Xbox was the best-selling console for the 19th straight month, and the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo's (NTDOY.PK) Wii U saw strong M/M growth off small bases. 1 Comment [Tech]

Wednesday, February 20, 7:49 AM Sony is expected to introduce the PlayStation 4 in New York today as it seeks to revive an electronics business that's badly in need of a hit. The event comes after a lackluster launch of Nintendo's (NTDOY.PK) Wii U amid the rise of casual gaming on mobile devices, and gets in ahead of any announcement by Microsoft (MSFT) about a rumored successor to the Xbox 360.

Monday, February 18, 3:35 PM Ahead of a Wednesday PS4 event that some expect will include news of a PS3 cut, Sony (SNE) is slashing the Japanese MSRP for the PlayStation Vita by 20% to ¥19,980 ($215). Vita sales have slumped in the face of tough competition from Nintendo's (NTDOY.PK) 3DS and smartphone/tablet alternatives - Japanese iPhone sales have taken off over the last year. Separately, the WSJ reports Sony plans to emphasize the PS4's social networking and multiplayer gaming capabilities, with the latter possibly encompassing mobile devices. 1 Comment [Tech]

Wednesday, January 30, 6:55 AM Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) chops its sales outlook for the Wii U gaming console to 4M units by the end of March after holiday sales came in disappointing. It's a crushing blow for the company after expectations were running high that it could sell as many as 5.5M units during the period. Analysts think price cuts and accelerated game introductions could be on tap from Nintendo in an effort to stoke demand. The development could have a negative read-through for GameStop (GME). 1 Comment [Consumer]
Friday, January 11, 9:54 AM Electronic Arts (EA -1.1%) and GameStop (GME -1.7%) open lower after NPD reports U.S. physical retail video game hardware and software sales for the pivotal month of December fell 27% and 23% Y/Y, respectively. Those numbers are much worse than the 13% and 11% drops reported for November, and are particularly discouraging in light of hopes new game launches would stabilize demand. The Xbox 360 was again the top-selling console with 1.4M sales, but that's still down 17.6% Y/Y. Piper has downgraded EA to Neutral. 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
Monday, January 7, 1:58 PM The Street isn't a fan of Nvidia's (NVDA -2.5%) entry into the handheld console market: shares are ticking lower as concerns about the costs of supporting Project Shield outweigh any enthusiasm about its latest baseband and app processors. CNNMoney's Adrian Covert notes Nvidia (unlike Nintendo and Sony) is trying to carve a niche by courting hardcore gamers with its console. Nvidia also launched its cloud-based Grid Gaming System (previous) yesterday. Supported by several cloud gaming providers, Grid features 20 servers and 240 Nvidia GPUs per rack. Comment!

Arriving at a time when smartphones and tablets are doing a number on handheld consoles, Shield represents a gamble for Nvidia. The system arrives in Q2; no details yet on pricing. 3 Comments [Tech]
Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 8:25 PM Japanese stocks are lower this morning in the face of a pullback in U.S. stocks overnight, and a bit of profit-taking in blue-chip names ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy decision due later in the day. The Nikkei Average fell 0.5% to 10,109, with exporters were among the big losers: Nintendo (NTDOY.PK -1.5%), Sharp (SHCAY.PK -1.6%), Pioneer (PNCOF.PK -2.2%), and Nissan (NSANY.OB -3.4%). Comment!
