Nintendo Shares Plunge 17% After Saying Pokemon Go’s Impact Is Limited

I more or less have the same harsh level of thinking - like, there had to be a more strategic way to put out their statement which essentially cost them 6 billion.

Shares aren't people paying money to Nintendo each month, FYI.
They are an estimation of the value of the company - they didn't lose any money.

This was obvious from the get-go. What dumbass thought they were going to use this as a key income driver?

A lot of people on forums like this one. Titles like, "Pokemon Go provides huge influx to nintendo's war chest."

"Nintendo worth more than Sony."

Nintendo also owns a stake in Creatures iirc. But it is important to mention that these are still separate legal entities, so money transfers between them will be limited.
 
this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. The game was overhyped beyond craziness. Once people realized how barebones and unoptimized this game was, they are just going to stop playing.
