Gaming the Recession
Otherwise I enjoyed the article. Video gaming is still one of the cheapest recession-resistant forms of entertainment out there.
Nintendo Needs To Reach Out to Shareholders
There's pros and cons to each of the things the author mentions, but anytime you make the stock more easily available to the average person, it's a usually good thing. I'm sure there are many in US that don't even know Nintendo is publicly traded. The exposure is horrible right now, and the news feeds are often days old. Makes it very hard to own the stock and make an informed decision.
Nintendo Needs To Reach Out to Shareholders
I think a big reason why the stock is suffering right now is simply due to the gaming cycle. People just assume that profits will start to tank after a system has "peaked". The gaming cycle is a thing of the past, considering all the new revenue streams that weren't around in the 90s, but you can't fight the tape.
Looking to get in when the lemmings (and Nintendo, as your article pointed out), get their heads on straight.
September Wii Sales Drop 30% in Japan: Is Nintendo Still a Buy?
