- Shrubber, on 10/18/2007, -1/+43Their stock nearly TRIPLED in value? Wow.
- Butt3rs, on 10/18/2007, -3/+3310,000,000,000,000 yen = 85,193,440,361.84 dollars
- mrASSMAN, on 10/18/2007, -6/+33Which is equal to 1 British pound.
- tradwolley, on 10/18/2007, -2/+24I should have purchased stock, not the wii.
Live and learn - KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -2/+22Hey tljjames... whats more likely. That there are a billion retards that bought a wii, or one who didn't... hmm... I'm thinking the one who didn't is the retard. Meaning you. To further back up that point i will point to the fact that you think the wii has sold a billion consoles
- dilibau, on 10/21/2007, -0/+19they beat Sony and are now the second most valuable company in Japan after Toyota, and in front of behemoths like ***** electric or Honda
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -2/+19"I don't buy systems that are designed for 13 year old retarded kids." Systems aren't being designed with you specifically in mind, so don't worry about that.
- xXGeechXx, on 10/18/2007, -4/+18Good for Nintendo, they figured they were losing head to head with hardware and software juggernauts Sony and Microsoft so they did what they have always done best - Innovate - and it is doing wonders for them.
- benitojuarez, on 10/18/2007, -2/+16a year ago the stock was worth 22.25 as of right now its worth 74.80
- DaPaki1, on 10/18/2007, -2/+15For comparison purposes...here's the market cap of some other companies based on today's stock price:
Dell = $62B
EA = $18B
Google = $192B
Sony = $46B
Yahoo = $35B - inactive, on 10/21/2007, -2/+14It's only going to keep going up as well. Christmas season is knocking on the front door and they have yet to release the wiiboard + wiifit. It will get so much hype from mainstream media it's ridiculous. If you can afford it, buy in now.
No doubt about it, Nintendo's console gamble paid off big this round. - inactive, on 10/17/2007, -4/+16Wii sales are now at over 12 million worldwide and 50 million DSs!!! http://www.vgchartz.com
- blahbbs, on 10/21/2007, -0/+10Yup.... I bought some of their stock during the time of the 2006 E3 at about $21 share. Now it's over $75 -- ka-ching! If only I had bought more... Sigh.
- dilibau, on 10/17/2007, -0/+9you simply don't get it ...I bet you haven't even touched a Wii or played with it for that matter, but if you think that offending those who bought it raises your IQ, you're wrong...it lowers it to the point where you become a fanboy
- soccerman90, on 10/18/2007, -0/+9what US companies are worth about 85 billion, to compare?
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/17/2007, -0/+8When the argument one puts out is that the buyers are retarded, it kinda blows the whole argument since we know you are not objective from the start. Pick a game system, and there is someone who thinks those players are retarded.
- otatop, on 10/17/2007, -1/+9There's a huge shortage in Japan right now because Nintendo is diverting as many Wiis as it can to the US. It has nothing to do with demand.
- Ch3n3yTh3D1ck, on 10/18/2007, -0/+8I bought nintendo stock at 24
- mrn111, on 10/18/2007, -0/+7Also:
Toyota Motors = $196B
Microsoft = $284B - UNL1M1T3D, on 10/18/2007, -1/+8And they said Nintendo was doomed! AH HAHA-HAHA!
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -3/+10WII ARE THE WORLD! I mean damn, it was on not 1, not 2, but 3 TV shows in the past 5 days! Weeds (Wii Tennis) , Gilmore Girls (Wii Boxing) , and How I Met Your Mother. (Wii Tennis again). Its taking over!
- jmpeagle, on 10/17/2007, -1/+8that makes its P/E ratio just short of 52 which is ridiclously high for such an established company
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/qsymbi ...
that's the same P/E ratio that Google has
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickc ... - esquire360, on 10/17/2007, -1/+8man i should have bought Nintendo stock at 58, bought apple instead :D
- BinaryFragger, on 10/17/2007, -0/+7Ninetendo? I'm not very familiar with that company.
Are they the maker of the Vii? http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/13/vii-meet-wii-th ... - zendegany, on 10/17/2007, -0/+6It's actually worth 90,429,232,756.92 dollars now thanks for inflation for the Wall St housing market bail-out.
- aliengoods, on 10/17/2007, -1/+7"I don't buy systems that are designed for 13 year old retarded kids."
Why not? You should have plenty of extra money from you're McDonalds job, since you're still living in your moms basement. - schoate09, on 10/18/2007, -1/+7Way off, Apple is worth ~$134 billion.
- tehbored, on 10/16/2007, -0/+5And few things are lower than a fanboy (adding to dilibau's comment).
- iSeven, on 10/17/2007, -0/+5Cavemen (Wii Boxing)
- BinaryFragger, on 10/17/2007, -0/+5I imagine that it depends on the area, but here in the Ottawa region, Wiis are still fairly difficult to find. When I do see one in a store, they usually only have 1 or 2. The upcoming Christmas season will certainly not help the supply problem.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4It's still pretty hard to find in most places, but not quite as bad as before. Instead of selling out each shipment within hours, it now can take a day or two.
- rune420, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4Or it just means the market is anticipating strong earnings growth in the foreseeable future.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4education does wonders, ask your parents if it's right for you
- Ub3rg33k, on 10/18/2007, -2/+6For all the sales and good financial news, why is it we're still having a tough time with 3rd party devs coming out with anything other than kid's games right now? N is giving me something to do with Metroid, Mario, Zelda, etc. ... there are a few ports ... but where the f*** are the exclusives!?!
- Ch3n3yTh3D1ck, on 10/17/2007, -1/+4Whatever could be next? sonic in smash brothers
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Actually my bad, I should have said 1 week lol, that was last weeks ep of HIMYM
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3It's not too late. I've got 50 shares of NTDOY purchased at a few different times over the last year or so, and hey've gone up enough to pay for my Wii, DS, all the games I have with enough left over for a PS3 and a 360. Of course it's tied up in a retirement account and I don't actually have access to those profits yet, but still...
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3My bad part 2: Gossip Girl, not Gilmore Girls. lol...
- zeous, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3It's on OTCBB as NTDOY: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/ ...
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Topher you do realize based on sales the Wii is exactly what people wanted... So your saying if Sony & Microsoft made a system people wanted instead of worrying solely about the best technology that gaming would grind to a halt? Um... no. In fact many businesses would prove your point wrong.
- Blue_Eon, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Funny, I have heard people say the same thing about other systems too.
- ninjathis, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2I lost my one ds out of that 50 million. :(
- Blue_Eon, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2I guess that explains why there are so many retarded 13 year olds on Xbox Live playing Halo 3, right?
- jfujita, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Just ask your broker to buy NTDOY
- skaface69, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2It means that basically, an investors is willing to pay 53 dollars for 1 dollars of earnings. Compare it to Sony: P/E of 35.65 or Microsoft: P/E of 21.62, it way high.
Personally, as a small time investor I would rather spend 20 dollar to get 1 dollar than to spend 50 dollars to get 1 dollar. but that is just me. - rune420, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Too bad the stock is only traded on asian exchanges though, makes it such a hassle to buy.
- Dracusis, on 10/17/2007, -2/+4Maybe now they have enough money to create some new IPs. Mario, Zelda and Metriod, while fun, are getting a little boring.
- jfujita, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Me too. Bought at $18. All thanks to digg!
- KingGoonie, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Blue Eon, come on....most are only 12 lol.
- giveer, on 10/17/2007, -1/+3I've had my Wii for a while now, so I haven't been checking for this: but is the Wii still sold out in a lot of places or has it leveled off finally?
