An American mutual-fund company is now the largest shareholder in Nintendo Co, signalling a revival of the company’s fortunes. Capital Research & Management, the investment adviser to the American Funds family, has increased the stakes they owned from 15.3% in March to a now 16.4%. What do you think this could mean for Nintendo?
Thanks, MasterPikachu6
But… doom!
Doom! Angry Joe! Doom! Third Party Support! Doom!
Meanwhile at the Sony fansite:
Doom! Angry Joe! Doom! Good First Party Games! Doom!
Ok, I know none of you have real jobs or know what mutual funds means. But this is the best financial news that has happened to Nintendo yet. American Mutual Funds, are you kidding me?! Game over for XBOne & PS4. Nintendo just hit the grand slam that won the game. Say goodnight, the party’s over.
Yes, I’m so sure this signals the end of the Xbox One and PS4. I’ll hold you to your word, on that.
He’s obviously joking just….chill
Yes I have no idea what this means? So an American company has the largest shares of Nintendo now? What does this mean? Any guesses? I would love to hear what this could bring.
A greedy Jewish company mutual fund is their biggest shareholder? They see the money being made from this.
Nintendo: It’s 2015 and they still don’t know what to do with the fucking Wii U. Maybe they should focus catching up what they missed out last gen before anyone brags.
catching up there two plus generations ahead lol two sticks and buttons is ahead of wii remote plus gamepad ad class leading game design WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON
mario 64 has better mechanics than 99% of games this gen
“Mario 64 had better mechanics than 99% of games THIS GEN.”
Never go full retard man, just go home, you’re drunk.
Your stupidity had no bounds…
Sony: It’s 2015 and they still can’t get out of the red. Maybe they should focus on keeping their business together and actually making money before anyone brags on them
You see what I did there? LOL
Yeah I saw that you’re unoriginal with your comebacks…
there investing before nintendos next DISRUPTION
The end of the Playstation and their boring gray games.
I would guess it means Nintendo doing fine? I dunno, I don’t care about company politics, especially when I know this generally won’t affect decisions within Nintendo.
It’s a bunch of greedy Jews believing that mobile games will bring in billions for them (more likely it will with good marketing).
Oh but it will obviously. The investors have their word to say on the direction the company is willing to take, they own a fucking piece of it. This explains the downfall of so many great publishers like EA, Activision, Valve, etc… Investors want their money back and then some, that’s why they invest for.
Yeah except I recall several claims of Japanese companies, in general, ignore foreign shareholders as they should. Hell most companies should ignore share holders as you buy into a company because you believe in their ability to make good decisions, not because you want to push your agenda.
Also everyone says Nintendo ignores everyone so, again, I doubt it’ll affect much if anything.
Ignores everyone including their fans.
Except they don’t ignore their fans.
No they don’t! …just some of them. lol Like the ones wanting voice chat… but that’s for another article.
Their decision to go and make mobile games is proof that it’s not true though, their investors have been pushing for years to get them to do that, and look, their shares have reached record prices and some big investors have increased the size of their share.
You don’t ignore a company that owns 16.4% of your shares, lol.
Yes, they ignored them for years. If they immediately reacted we might have something to worry about, but for all we know, mobile is their way of getting cash to improve online without charging us a monthly/yearly fee. Also we know nothing of what kinda games will be on mobile just yet so there’s really nothing to get our undies in a bunch over. When they start acting like Konami or Capcom, I’ll be worried, but their record is too good for me to piss myself just cause some investors are hoping to ride an assumed gravy train now that the company’s hype had outshone media hate.
I guess a bigger focus on what works for other companies and what could get Nintendo easy billions : mobile games.
16. some odd percent. Next time specify what you are typing before alarming me sickr lol.
F=ma.
You mean Jackyanne, Sir.
Universal Park themes, 3DS games and hardware, WiiU games and hardware, Mobile games, QOL device(s), NX hardware and games.
Of course Nintendo is getting invested, they as a whole are doing fine job and they have space to grow as a company, they aint bleeding like Sony does and Sega did back in the day, so yeah i dont see why their investors wouldnt raise their stakes, its not like Nintendo is in need of selling buildings or cutting of divisions of theirs.
sony has sources of income that will never go away
That’s bullshit. If they do why can’t they get out of the red? Exactly…..smh
If nintendo fails to impress with the wii u at this e3 they will lose their core fanbase and those fans wont buy the “NX” unless it stops trying to be kiddy and besides kids like good graphics too. I doubt their mobile games will be that good but I will wait and see before passing judgement. The wii and ds are looking more and more like a fluke to investors
one more thing, imagine a zelda game that looked like the witcher and where the fuck is Pokemon MMO?
1. Since they have been doing good these few past e3s they should be alright
2. The nx is still a while away
3. You are already judging lol just wait for everything
4. Even if you say nintendos e3 and the nx and the mobile games are bad you are just one person who will not buy nintendos products of millions that will buy nintendos products now of course the people who stop supporting Nintendo may be huge
5. Then that is where the phone games come in which is also advertisement which can increase sales which is good
What is kiddy? Video games as a whole is kiddy so I don’t understand that point. Now if you are saying they need to cater to the mature 18 crowd then you have a small point but why would a family friendly manufacturer since the original NES change their philosophical goals.
the nes was not kiddy. it was innovative quality product that was cheap. the games were made for young and old
As I said all video games are kiddy. NE was as family friendly as Wii. People have short memories.
u are right all games are kiddy, Nintendo games just lack features
Thank you. Criticism is better when the point is clear. I agree with a little more mature 18 games. Even though I play everything that I like.
“The wii and ds are looking more and more like a fluke to investors”
I can’t say anything about the wiiu, but the 3ds had 50 million units sold worldwide, more than ps vita ps4 and xbox one put together.
And again the money train keeps coming to Nintendoville but boy they are sure are DOOMED…..smh
Everyone has said to be doomed, yet they’re still here. I’m honestly sick of all of it, but nothing new there. People continue to be dumb asses all the time.
Nothing…
It doesn’t mean anything. This is the most boring article about Nintendo ever. Are we gamers or stockbrokers?
