Nintendo shares fall sharply after Japan quake and launch

The latest news from April 11, after Nintendo sold 3DS gaming consoles in late February, the price of Nintendo shares fell 17%.　　According to Wall St Nation, Nintendo's share price has fallen more than 17% per cent since the end of last month and is now trading at less than 5%, its lowest rate in 52 weeks.　　The Japanese quake caused delays in the release of some games and the unsatisfactory performance of the new 3DS gaming machine, which was attributed to one of the factors that led to the stock's fall. Nintendo 3DS Kotaku reported that quoting Japanese sales leader Media Create, so far,　　The 3DS game machine sold only 836,000 units in Japan, 66.4 less than the planned 1.5 million, the report did not say last month's earthquake in Japan was one of the drivers behind the slow sales of the game. As of March 3, PSP gaming machines sold more than 3DS gaming consoles.　　It is also the first time that sales have fallen since the 3DS game was sold. On the other hand, in the UK, Nintendo's 3DS gaming machine sold only half of Japan's local sales. Nintendo's 3DS gaming machine sold 113,000 sets in the first two days of sales in the UK, and the Sun commented that the new version of the game machine was a giddy one to play. Nintendo has made no corresponding refutation. (Digging the shell net)
