finance.yahoo.com— Sony's stock continues to decline in the wake of E3, while Nintendo is flying high. Apparently investors are not impressed with the PS3.

am I the only one that thinks Wii is a good name? People are going nuts over nothing. I, for one, thought the Revolution was a stupid name, or at least one that was doomed to obscurity.
It's interesting that Sony, a multimedia company, was so affected by E3. It's really telling about the way investors perceive Sony as a video game company first and foremost, when they only got into that market less than a decade ago.
@ArgleStocks do jump up and down when quarterly announcements are made, but it's really not about whether the company has performed well compared to it's past or even it's competitors, it's more about if the company has performed better/worse than analysts predicted.
@samuraitux:Wow. You took my comment as an attack? That's not what it was meant to be. I was just trying to share some information. Maybe next time, I won't use '@'. I didn't realize people around here take things so g'damn personally. Regardless, I'm happy you took the time to respond and share additional information with the Digg community. Thanks.

@samuraitux:NTDOY.PK is Nintendo stock (<a class="user" href="http://www.nintendo.com/corp/faq.jsp#stock).">http://www.nintendo.com/corp/faq.jsp#stock).</a> It's traded as a pink sheet (<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_sheets).">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_sheets).</a> The 30% increase is not due solely to the Nintendo Wii. Nintendo raised its dividends and projections in response to better than expected handheld sales (if you couldn't tell just by the number of related articles here on Digg, the DS Lite is pretty freakin' hot; <a class="user" href="http://japanstockblog.com/article/8623).">http://japanstockblog.com/article/8623).</a> The fact that Nintendo's stock has jumped so much in the past few weeks, despite rather poor performance by the rest of the market, may be a sign of good things to come. Who knows? I believe they announce earnings on the 24th.

Your can't compare the prices of single stocks. Googles is almost $400 while MSFT is at $22
