After falling -2.4% in regular trading today, Nintendo stock is falling another -8.45% after market close here in Tokyo. They just reported Q1 numbers that missed analyst estimates. Still unsure how they want to sell 13.5M Switch units this fiscal. cnbc.com/amp/2024/08/02…

NEW: As expected, Nintendo posted weak 1Q earnings. Profits missed analyst expectations. Dr. Serkan Toto 🔜TokyoGameShow says "I really wonder how Nintendo wants to achieve their hardware sales target" especially if without hardware price reductions. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

To continue with Nintendo Switch sales in FY24: Q1 3.91M Q2 2.94M Q3 6.9M Q4 1.96M total: 15.7M Now, they in Q1 FY25 sold 2.1M. To reach the FY25 target of 13.5M units, they need 11.4M from Q2 to Q4. That would be almost as many as last year from Q2 to Q4 (11.8M). Not easy.

It's Monday 1:30pm in Tokyo now, investors in the stock market continue to panic and are causing a bloodbath: Nintendo -15% Sega -13% Capcom -16% Nexon -13% Cave -23% Konami -8% Sony -6% Marvelous -10% Cyberagent -10% Koei Tecmo -6% Square Enix -5% 1.5h of trading to go. 🤯🤯🤯

24 hours later. What a "fun" ride.... Almost all companies regained their Monday losses. Nintendo +12% Sega +13% Capcom +18% Nexon +12% Cave +19% Konami +8% Sony +8% Marvelous +9% Cyberagent +8% Koei Tecmo +6% Square Enix +3% (reports Q1 numbers in 1.5h)

Bloober Team stock is currently up +7% in Warsaw. Sounds like a positive surprise, including to me.

On my way to Cologne for #gamescom2024 and just realized I don’t have a ticket for the event - somebody screwed up. If I buy now, they need one day to validate that I am indeed a trade visitor, right? Is there a workaround?

Made it to #GamesCom2024 and to the most German of all booths. (2 meetings dropped today, so please say hi when you see me.)

Just checked the local Bic Camera. Just when I arrived, staff was changing the PS5 displays for both versions to “sold out”. That was very quick.

The irony here is that a whole range of mobile games that are just being "imported" to Japan from China do very well. 3 of the top 10 grossing apps in 2023 in Japan were made in China - a high number in a market where foreign titles never played a role previously.

Brian Ward, the CEO of Saudi Arabia's government-owned Savvy Games Group, says they plan to make a major investment or acquisition in 2025. Source: arabnews.com/node/2569579/s… (Savvy bought Scopely in 2023 for US$4.9B, just before the latter published Monopoly Go on mobile.)

Investors seem very disappointed about Star Wars Outlaws' sales numbers and let Ubisoft stock crash. Shares lost over 10% combined in the last 2 days, so the company just slipped to under €2B in market cap in Paris. Ubisoft is almost at a 10-year low.

Infinite Mario levels? virtual-protocol.github.io/mario-videogam…

Me, too.😀

I don't want to beat this to death, but Ubisoft stock in Paris is currently dropping another -9%... Market cap is down to €1.7B or US$1.9B.

This is how Sony investors in the US reacted during the PS5 Pro presentation when the price was revealed at 11:10 EST.
