Though i agree the article states a serious thing (losing 76% of your vale is surely something to worry about) the always kinda forced necesity of bringing Apple/mobile "gaming" to the discussion sort of makes this look like another troll bait.

 

Your thoughts?

Are you sure they've lost 76% of their value?

 

Do they mean stock value, or bank + assets value?

 

It sounds wrong, especially since the 3DS is doing great and should have kept the value up (maybe not the stock value, but whatever).

I don't think Ninty am doomed.

Value in the stock market.

A company's market value is determined by the price of each shares multiplied by the number of outstanding shares. While it's true that the 3DS is selling well, Nintendo's handheld sales are in a decline year over year. What's also interesting is that since 2007 when the iPhone was released, Nintendo's total yearly handheld sales (GBA, DS and later 3DS) began to decline at a rate almost inversely proportional to the sales of the iPhone.

I don't like to comment on articles like this normally, but one thing really stands out for me here: "Nintendo's business model is becoming obsolete." I think that if they realize that, Nintendo's best years will be yet to come.

I know. They have been beaten around the bush so many times.

Will have to see how sales go in the next 6 months.... At least there will be more games and more compelling reasons to buy a Wii U.  They have enough cash to go several years with poor sales- to then adjust their business model.
