They partly own Pokemon which is the ultimate money printer. They will (sadly) always be fine.
So it's time to buy.
>>737970943Adopt ai or get left behind. That simple, sir.
They gave up making a console affordable and appealing to kids and instead are maximizing the amount they can extract from reddit manchildren. Kids are not going to pick a $500 handheld with $70 games and a subscription over devices they already have that they can play Roblox on.

>>737971218but seriously who the fuck thought skipping out on the first Q1 Direct of the Switch 2 was a good idea
>>737972794>Highguard lasted longer than Concord so it wasn't a failure
>>737973854The last general direct was September 12. We're going on 8 months since the last one.
>>737971051saar do not buy the dip. You need to sell when low.
What I want to know is what brought on the boost in picrel? Feels very much like a pump n dump.
>>737974389I was gonna correct you that it's seven months, but there's zero chance of a general in May, so it's definitely gonna hit 8. The only times they've gone longer were>when the Switch 1 was starting to wind down>2020 (aka the fucking pandemic)And those are more understandable situations. This is not the sort of shit that should be happening a year into a system. And they haven't revealed new first-party games since that September Direct in shadowdrop tweets or via other non-Direct means either.
>>737974615I wonder if the last direct was so poorly received that they decided to hold off on doing them until they have really exciting things to show. 1 really bombastic direct would probably do more to get people excited than 2 mediocre ones.
>>737973567videogames were recession proof before they started charging $400 for handhelds, $600 for consoles and $100 for games.pc is eating all the consoles lunches now harder than ever.
why swich 2 has no games?
>>737970943Women need to be banned from being CEOs
>>737975191I think them starting Yoshi below standard Switch 2 MSRP (and Splatoon Raiders not hitting it at all) is them realizing that their 2026 lineup isn't what it needs to be besides Pokopia (and I don't know if I can FULLY count that either since they were genuinely surprised by what a huge flavor-of-the-month hit it ended up being).
>>737975494I think for the game prices, Mario Tennis Fever was probably the tipping point since it sold pretty damn poorly at $70. Metroid Prime 4 potentially as well. Which I mean, that's great that Nintendo is learning and customers are getting cheaper games. Walmart even has their preorder prices for physical the same as the digital prices.
BUY HIGH SELL LOW
They could have upped the price of Switch 1 by $100 with better specs to run the existing games better and I would be all over it. But they decided to make Switch 2 games with a higher spec in mind and thier shit is bottlenecked again. And they are pioneering new ways to fuck the customers on top of that. I just wanted smooth running Nintendo games. This company has a habit of making really terrible decisions every other console cycle.>liked 3ds>skipped Wii U>liked Switch>skipped Switch 2Maybe by the next console they'll have thier shit together.
>>737975718>I think for the game prices, Mario Tennis Fever was probably the tipping point since it sold pretty damn poorly at $70.It absolutely was (especially with its Japanese opening being worse than every other MT game except the Virtual Boy MT). I think that they're realizing that $70 is already gonna be a much harder ask for lower-budget/lower-profile games like Mario spinoffs, especially when they don't have the supply of released (or even revealed) big-hitter games yet to help buoy them. Mario Tennis Aces had a nearly identical Switch 1 install-base on release as Fever did for Switch 2 (give or take a couple hundred thousand sales), but crucially, the Switch 1 already had the likes of mainline Zelda/Mario/Splatoon released, AND Smash Bros was already revealed to be coming in a few months after Aces' release. Fever had no such games to help buoy it (I'm sorry DK fans, but with how Nintendo treated Donkey Kong during the Switch 1 era and Bananza's lack of legs during the holidays, it's just objectively not on that same level as Mario/Zelda/Splatoon/Smash).
Are you telling me to buy?
>>737976549It's rare for Nintendo to be in competition with their old games like this. It didn't happen the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, or Switch. It was just the Wii where the motion control gimmicks were enough to differentiate them from the previous entries and the Wii U which just straight up failed. Mario Tennis for $70 becomes a much harder sell when people already have their previous Mario Tennis game playable on their Switch 2, Aces had no competition so if people wanted to play Mario Tennis on their Switch it was the only option. For the new single player Splatoon game, people can already play Salmon Run on their Switch 2 so pricing Raiders at $50 will get more people to buy it.
>>737970943When the streets run red with the blood of slaves it's time to buy.
>At... at least the Mario movie did well!>Meanwhile...>>>/tv/220173038
>>737970943markets are forward looking...institutional investors are asking questions like "is nintendo likely to grow its userbase over the next 5 years?" or "is nintendo still capable of market disruption/innovation?"releasing the switch 2 rather than calling it "switch pro" was a defensive move that yielded short term cashflow, but at what cost? is nintendo still a company that creates hardware that surprises and delights consumers, or do they just continually make glorified tablets and films for millenials to take their kids to go see?nintendo can stay in business by just coasting on ip licensing and small scale releases, but markets want to see big wii-style swings, they want to see execs capable of innovation and playing ball with international agendas, etc
>>737974568Hardware shortages + Orange Man Tax basically killed the momentum. Otherwise the stock would have kept going up.

There are people that boughtered back when the wii u was out and they held until now.roundtripping their bags, how will nintendo make up for this
>>737978336But they could have "made money" any time with that. Why now? It's because they need it.
>>737975395>pc is eating all the consoles lunches now harder than ever.lol pc is way more expensive retard amd PC marketshare is falling
>>737981328They dont want to make movies. In a perfect world, the only way you could experience mario and zelda is if you buy a nintendo system. But thats not working out for them anymore. Kids dont give a shit about their parents favorite video games, so they're reaching out in other ways to try and get them interested.
>>737970943Exactly as i predicted, a slight jump from the movie before falling back down.Did Nintendo really think a mere film would do any more? Pathetic. Only a new Smash Bros can save them now.
>>737981396>Get cheapo PC or laptop>Can now play 90% of all games ever made, even for free, with a little effortIt doesn't have to be cutting-edge. New games are dogshit and there's more than enough older games that can run on a budget PC to satiate a man forever.
mario movie is making a billion dollars, switch is still selling, switch 2 fastest console to ever sell, poketopia sold gang busters, why are they dying, i don't understand. is it because of the war
>>737978316Anon, there are no games that justify a Switch 2 purchase.You can't blame the president for an all-around shitty console. People bought it only out of the initial hype. Nintendo has failed to deliver on that hype and that is why their stock collapsed.
>>737981797Tendies accumulated too much negative karma over the years
>implying Nintendo will abandon its cinematic universe planslol, lmao even. Even if each movies end up doing like 600M, that's still massive. We know the first (and likely the second) was 100M budget financed 50% by Nintendo, getting 50% of the profits.50M budget for 1.3B @ 50% = 650M profits.You'd have to chrun out a BotW, or a Mario Kart, or a Odyssey to reach these profits. Other franchises can't reach these number when they barely sell 3 or 4M copies.The movies are easy cash-in, and there's no reason not to do them.I guarantee you the Nintendo Cinematic Universe will print money for at least the next 15 years.
>>737981657The film underperformed, too. kek.
>>737981797>mario movie is making a billion dollarsIt's actually not.
BUYBUYBUY
>>737977823I don't know how to tell you this anon but you've been lied to. Investors more often than not only care about short-term profit and getting it as easily as possible.They don't give a fuck about Nintendo being "innovative", they were literally calling for Iwata to resign and for Nintendo to pivot to cheap mobile games in the Wii U era, it's why shit like Super Mario Run and that Fire Emblem gacha got made. That's what investors wanted.
>>737970943Why are stock market threads allowed here?>>>/biz/
>>737982457Unironically I think the success of the Switch is the reason the Japanese mobile market stagnated, and was overcome by China. That and Fate/Grand Order made too many devs hopeful they could make billions selling PNGs.
>>737982145As sequels tend to do. At the time of the first movie there would of course be immense hype, it's a Mario movie after all, an animated one that initially seemed faithful to the source-material. But as for a sequel? Well, it's by design been done before, just more of the same. It's not even as if the first film needed a sequel.Nintendo's failure this generation is their total lack of innovation.
>>737982764>As sequels tend to do.Most don't do $500 million less.
>>737972218Nintendo has a bunch of fuck you money. They just need to come up with their next gimmick and it'll start raining cash again.Personally rooting for Mario and Luigi: Inside Peach's Story
>>737975718>Which I mean, that's great that Nintendo is learning and customers are getting cheaper games. Walmart even has their preorder prices for physical the same as the digital prices.FYI, US Amazon now has the same prices for Yoshi and Splatoon Raiders. I gotta give Nintendo credit, they ACTUALLY got retailers to price games $10 lower. Fucking crazy.
>>737982527China was always going to surpass Jaoan in gachashit. If you look at the FGO days you will see nothing but shovelware like GBF and Bang Dream with predatory pvp whalebait practices. For all of its faults, Genshin was somehow MORE f2p friendly than every other Jap gacha on the market.
>>737970943If they survived the N64 and Game Cube they can survive whatever thing they're fucking up right now.
>>737970943>lost half its peakSeems it was overvalued and rejected. Nintendo needs to course correct their games and behaviors to regain consumer confidence, and by proxy investor confidence.Maybe being lazy, botw-ing everything, and desoulifying their consoles has had an profound impact.Bring back miiverse. Bring back eshop menu music. Fix your services
>>737983749It was overvalued. I even made an alert at the end of last year when it was over 40 P/E. A Japanese stock. On a conservative index such as the Nikkei. having NASDAQ-tier P/E. Shit was retarded.It was as much retarded when I was screaming how undervalued it was in 2018 when the Switch was literally printing money and it was sitting at a measly 11 P/E when utter shit like pretty much all the western studios were at absurd overvalued prices. Now it's more reasonable, albeit still a tad too pricey. Buying now is not a bad idea if you can DCA into it for a few months. But the context being what it is, a broad market crash is likely, especially when the fucking Nikkei did a +100% in one fucking year like it's the 90's again. And the oil market being what it is. Nintendo is very tempting at these prices, but at the dawn of a market crash, it may very well do another -40%.
>>737983749I think it's just an issue of not having a general Direct for so long for such a new console, meaning they don't have much in the way of heavy hitters to help boost their current stable of released/announced games. It's been a year and it's very much been an appetizer/side dish/leftovers console (yes, third-worlders, I used a food metaphor, scary scary!).
>>737983605Most of Nintendo's current issues are out of their control. Increases in component costs is eating into whatever profits Nintendo expected to make from the some 19 million Switch 2 hardware shipments they forecasted, they have almost certainly exceeded this target but it's pointless if it's sold at a massive loss. A price hike seems inevitable and that's giving investors the jitters because look at how PS5 sales have collapsed due to price hikes.Another bit of nuance getting lost is that, unless Pokopia did absolutely massive numbers in March, they're going to miss their software sales target, it's lagging behind Switch 1 quite a bit here. Obviously I chalk that up to the current lineup not having mainstream appeal outside of Japan. The individual games have mostly sold in line with previous entries in their respective series, but without any heavy hitters other than Mario Kart the whole thing falls short.
It's been nine months since Banaza. Nintendo has not released a critically well received game since then.
>>737983960>Another bit of nuance getting lost is that, unless Pokopia did absolutely massive numbers in March, they're going to miss their software sales target, it's lagging behind Switch 1 quite a bit here.People have recently reported seeing tons of in-store prices for S1 and S2 games in general going on steep clearance in some Walmarts, including recent first-party releases. Lowered prices ending in 00 cents at Walmart typically indicate clearance.
>>737973061Entertainment has generally thrived during economic downturns, including the Great Depression. There are segments of the entertainment industry that are doing great.All of its woes are due to poor content that fails to excite audiences.

>>737986180So it's got Nintendo and Sony's fanbases combined?
>>737970943all they need to do is to offer 4k120fps ports of the top 30 N64, GameCube and Wii for $30 each
Nintendo needs to call a hit on Sam Kikeman for the papertower to collapse
>>737983960How massive would pokopia had to have done?
>>737987486NTA and I don't know, but I can at least say Pokopia is very likely the best-selling exclusive that wasn't bundled, by a decent margin.
>>737971180My eight year old son bought a Switch 2. He saved up money from two birthdays and Christmas to do it.
>>737989274>$500 system>+$80 games>+$80 controller>+price of memory card and online subscriptionAnon, it's your job as a parent to watch out for your kid and make sure he doesn't get scammed.
>>737972218PokemonThat shit prints billions
>>737970943maybe they should try hiring less lawyers and more devs llol
>>737981878This isn't a PS5. There's basically thousands of games available for the Switch 2 because of Switch 1 99.9% compatability. Orange Max taxes are the reason the console ended up so expensive, same with AI datacenters hogging up memory. The Switch 2 uses a brand new microSD format that no other console uses that's built for 4k/8k data. Memory shortages have fucked not just the cards but the internal space of the Switch 2. I also feel like a lot of people refuse to buy Game Key Cards, which sounded like a decent idea but are now fucked because you need to install massive games on those SD cards. Nintendo stated that the price increases of games, hardware, accessories was not due to the tariffs but that's an absolute fucking lie, as an actual NTDOY share holder. They pre planned for the worst and it's made sales suffer because nobody wants to pay $60-70USD for a game and $500 for a Nintendo handheld. It is literally the most expensive Nintendo console and cartridge ever sold in the companies history. >Inb4 some retard chimes in about nuh-uh le inflation
>>737982063I'm sure they're using that money to just funnel it back into theme park development and non game shit. Nintendo is an old ass company and the current leadership thinks they've put all their eggs in one basket (video games) and that's why they're branching out like they did back in the 50s and 60s. They used to make toys and playing cards (and they still sort of do that) but I think they're trying to find another big hit thing like video games once were. It's just sad tho that because of Microsoft and Sony, and the overall western and Japanese industry getting lazy/cheap/complacent, it makes the entire video game business suffer, and it allows Nintendo become lax. Nintendo being market leader is a good thing because they're the only video game company left, but at the same time under its current leadership by a Pokemon Company accountant you begin to see conflicts of interest where they do stuff like Switch 1 games now turn at docked performance while in handheld mode but also Amiibo going up in price from $12 to $40.
>>737984490I would hate it if it's because Walmart and Co are trying to get rid of physical media. Best Buy already got rid of CDs, yet stupidly invested more into vinyl (which is heavier, more expensive). They got rid of their movies except for online. It's ironic because their slogan was changed to "Yes, we have that." Or something when in fact they don't have that. I discovered so much cool music and new movies back in the day when they gave a shit.
>>737992741>Orange Max taxes are the reason the console ended up so expensiveDon't blame me, I voted for Purple Billy.
>>737992741>This isn't a PS5. There's basically thousands of games available for the Switch 2 because of Switch 1 99.9% compatability.Literally the same for the PS5, considering the PS4's library, being able to actually own classic PS1 and 2 games instead of just renting them as well as an even more immense library of multiplats.Are you retarded? Regardless, it's a moot point since you could just go for a PC and play 99% of all games ever made.
>>737970943wha happened ?

Investors are retarded. Everyone knew Switch was a one-time thunder lighting in the right place type of thing. It was way overvalued before the stock price crash.

>>737970943fucking lmao, at this point if Asmongold or Tectone his kike friend are reading this thread: Go fucking fuck yourself or set up a small company in Japan that makes uncensored western aimed VTuber content and video games and a hosting platform that is not Kiked up the ass with Twitch and Kick rules: Instant gold farm unlocked.
I dunno guys but this feels like a premium buy opportunity.The stock losing half its value in just a few month is a massive overcorrection which is inevitably gonna bounce back up.
>>738002384Grow up
Tendies are extremely defensive ITT.
>>738002140Well sony raised their prices so basketball and burrito americans won't be buying it for 2k and fifa as much, and as a result it probably won't hit 100mil like its predecessors. Switch 2 just has to keep releasing more pokemon slop and mario games to hit that in a few more years. I haven't touched console trash in over a decade so carry on with your spergout.
>>738002423Sorry chud but Nintendo stock was massively overvalued. It will never bounce back up
>>737972218Because they have F I F T Y Y E A R S of reserves that can sustain them. They have said they can operate at a loss for half a century before they'll be in trouble.Also, they famously don't listen to their shareholders. Their stock price dropping means absolutely fuckall to them. They're not dying.https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/stock/meeting/140627qa/index.html> Shareholder special benefit plans are very popular in Japan these days. As most of the individual shareholders hold Nintendo’s stock because they are fans of this company, would you please give us something related to Nintendo as a shareholder perk? I do not think hardware systems should be given to shareholders due to their high costs, but games like “Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS” and “GAME & WATCH COLLECTION,” which were presents to Club Nintendo members, could be good options.>"I am afraid we have no plans to introduce shareholder benefit schemes for now. We have been studying the best method of shareholder returns and our current policy is to pay out dividends."

Sony stock also crashed from 30 to 20.Guess what? The current state of the economy effects everyone not just Nintendo. If people have no cash due to inflation skyrocketing they simply don't spend as much on pointless shit like videogames , movies or music.
>>737970943I'm not paying 500 fucking dollars for a Mario machine
>>738000091>no layoffs neededWhy should that stop them? It's never stopped the others. Mass layoffs are basically a hobby for gaming industry CEOs.
>>737990327His 8 year old isn't a terminally online, always miserable, video game hating /v/poster. He will not doubt enjoy his purchase for years to come and reminisce about better times as an adult when the state of gaming slides ever more into the shitter.
You can always pinpoint the exact moment the Nintendofag discord finds a thread
>>738001652That's a lackluster lineup though.None of those are system sellers.
>>737970943OOF
Lol, nintendo is fine.SW2 is a stopgap console until the real one, with the next gimmick thing, is ready.It will still be very profitable but nowhere near SW, the software support will be half assed/experimental like Wii U.Stocks will suffer but who cares.
>>737970943>stock value
>>738004426>SW2 is a stopgap console until the real one, with the next gimmick thing, is ready.Doubt it, gimmicks are a iwata/myamoto thing
>>738003196You can always pinpoint the exact moment the schizo NDS nigger faggot comes to /v/ when 10 Nintendo shitpost threads are suddenly up and 'active'
>>738004426A stopgap console that's currently outpacing the sales of every console in history over its first year?
Stock threads of any kind should be a public bannable offense, only the biggest resident retards make them.
>>738005161Dude, even the wii U broke records early.This topic may be pure trolling but one thing is real, the software support is mid, no mainline zelda/mario is absurd for a new nintendo console.
>>738005372>no mainline zelda/mario is absurd for a new nintendo console.Not even having one REVEALED by now, after the press cycle for the system started 16 months ago, is absurd.
>>737995820I would have believed that RDR2 is trash without the 4 mediocre games in the background.
>>738005270famitsu too then
>>737970943you faggots dont understand shit about stocks. Nintendo is defaulting to its average price now that Switch 2 already propped up the price. Before Switch 2 was announced the average price was $11-$13.Its a pink sheet stock.
>>737970943why are you guys obsessed with this stuff
>>737983037>They just need to come up with their next gimmick and it'll start raining cash again.I think we're past that point, they're not gonna invent some crazy new tech. "Look kids, it's Mario!" just doesn't work anymore. Kids are busy with 50 other things now. Nintendo in many ways is like Blockbuster video, using an outdated business model and unable to adapt. The next Nintendo won't be Nintendo.
>>738006767Console warriors have no hobby besides cheerleading or doomfagging other corporations
>>738006825Ban sales threads (I've been saying this since the early Media Creates days). Ban stock threads. Ban Steam charts threads. And ban boogeyman-invoking (it's not directly related but it often comes in tow).
>>738006178Should have done it back when it was Media Create threads.
>>738008641based
>>738008738Japanese was gaming was better when it was all obscure ass weeb Vita games topping sales.
>>738009089Sony surrendering Playstation to California HQ was a huge fucking mistake.
>>738011126Industry ruining moment. I can't even imagine a world in which you have both a Falcom and Gust game in the top 5 anymore.
>>737972339Because they know their current model is not going to keep them in the business for another decade, so they need to branch out. You hate them for their fanboys and kiddy games, but they're not stupid.
>>737970943Death of Japan, more like.
>>738011418Half the issue, too, was a lot of devs being simps and collectively refusing to pry their jaws off Sony's schlong in the Switch era until they developed lockjaw.
>>737970943>no mario>no zelda>THREE racing games>world is worse than MK8>the best game released is a dq builder with pokemon skinSwitch 2 line up has been sony tier so far. Complete garbo with nothing to show for.
>>738011964The timing in general was bad because most of those companies tried their hands at gacha games instead since those were the big new thing. That's where most of the ecchi games still are.
>>737970943I wonder if Bandai, Koei and Sega could form a mega company splinter and release a console, it would be fucking kino.
>>738011964Gaming physically cannot heal until Nintendo is destroyed.
snoys are mentally ill
>>738012137Zaibatsu Box (Or ZBOX for short).
>>738012673Why?
eric won... BIGLY
>>738012772>"Genocider Console." ("Kills everything.")>"Senzaikyou Box" (Strong Potential Box.)heh.
>>738011831Nah the stock artificially inflated by 10 points on April 2024. It went from 12 to 22. We’re just going back to where it was at a stable level. This is a huge nothingburger, nothing ever happens. I’d love to see Nintendo fail, I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in a decade. That company is worthless to me, Sony on the other hand. Thats where the real games are at amarite?
>>738005372Tired of seeing this revisionism, the Wii U never broke sales records, it had an okay launch in November 2012 and then completely cratered by January 2013. The Switch 2 outsold the Wii U's lifetime sales in 6 months and will likely outsell the Gamecube by the end of it's first year on the market.
>>738013601so one should invest in nintendo now? Might be good to toss in a few eggs into the basket.
What's worse than being a tendie? Being a tendie bagholder. KWAB
>hourly NDS thread
Expensive products are a good thing. If the next Nintendo console was $8000, it would be 8 times better graphics and gameplay. $8000 isnt even that much money for Americans who are employed, they can make that much in a couple days.
I think Nintendo will be fine but yeah they've got anti customer full greedy I was kinda interested in the Switch 2 until I saw the economics. I also hate the "Nintendo" tax I don't think Nintendo games are fun enough for them to act all high and mighty the way they do not to mention suing the US (read: ME) for tarriffs that they got already with their high as hell prices. They turned me anti. Between them and Sony I almost don't fuck with Japan at all now.
>>738013681So, do this mean SW2 will keep outselling the SW and end with 200 million? As things are now?By "like wii U" means it sold on hype mostly and the software is not there to sustain record sales for long.
>>738014135why do tendies think anyone gives a shit about the nintendo ds
>has the cheapest console with the cheapest online subscription and sells the digital versions of their games 10 dollars cheaper than the physical versions>anti consumergo schizo go schizo go
>>738014193Yeah the samurai need to be stopped. I agree, we should nuke Japan again. Tokyo this time.
>>738014294Yea cheap is right. Theyre cheap for a reason, it’s because they’re made by ugly jap people. If you want a powerful gaming company, you need to be buying Chinese gaming products. Wukong was the best, probably the best game ever produced and you know where it came from? China. Their mmo scene is also insanely better than anyone else’s, but it’s all region locked.
*schizo babble intensifies*
>>738014136>they can make that much in a couple daysnot everyone is an onlyfans girl, anon
>>738014294>>has the cheapest consoleI'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't make the Xbox Series S.
>>738012974>spends 24 hours samefagging in a thread>I WON
>>738014285Only snoys praise the DS at this point because it's the contrarian pick compared to the Switch.
>>738014618Wow I totally forgot about that. Im like pretty sure onlyfans was a completely fake event. Just to try to anger people or something, lol. Damn that shit was weird as fuck. I bet none of the girls made any money from it, who the hell was buying porn. Nobody, literally nobody would buy porn from a girl who had many other men buying her porn too. Thats like an extreme form of cuckolding. Totally fake event. Just to distract people with anger and confusion.
>eric derangement syndrome has developed to the point where eric is posting nonstop for 24 hours
>>738014748Handhelds get mogged by phones don’t they. Im pretty sure my iphone 15 has more capable hardware than a DS. Nintendo just doesn’t release much in the way of phone games, neither does Sony. Which is fucking stupid, they should be catering to my advanced hardware and not trying to peddle.
