Nintendo Shareholders Anxiously Await Announcement

I respectfully disagree. NTDOY's stock price rocketed to the mid seventies in October and has been stuck in a range since. Skepticism is already baked into the shares, otherwise they would have continued to run up. Even the GME announcement to take Wii orders didn't move the shares. That's strange because the program will clearly help sell more Wii's -- but no stock price appreciation? Why don't investors better understand the DS phenomenon or NTDOY games?

NTDOY is not a one trick pony, but the past three months of a stock dead in the water says the market incorrectly thinks otherwise ...

Electronic Arts Takeover Is Almost Inevitable... But by Whom?

A console maker will not pay for ERTS only to watch over half ERTS revenues disappear when they stop making games for other platforms (and don't forget the handheld market). This does not make dollars and cents.

Second, I want to address the new bearish comments about Wii in the above comment. People who think the console is just a novelty have not done their research on other NTDOY consoles. Most recently, GameCube was still selling well at $99 at the end of the last cycle. Hardcore gamers who love their XBox or PS3, and who also do not like NTDOY internal games (e.g., Super Mario, Zelda, etc.), cannot see the big picture nor put themselves in others' shoes. So, they think Wii is a fad. The sales numbers and demand speaks for itself. The console has been out for 2 holiday seasons now and there is plenty of opportunity for word of mouth to be negative IF the Wii were truly not popular. Again, such is not the case, and those taking that bet have and will continue to be wrong. Do your research on past cycles ...
