Good to know. Their TVs have been good for the last 3-5 years at least. Price wise I think they've been pretty competitive too. I've personally liked their TV and phone output for the last few years (minus the Xperia X line).

How does one go about buying stock in Nintendo?
This, even my very very basic understanding of this has me face palming myself reading some of these posts.

Nothing they're doing is working except gaming wise and if they fuck that up too then they're gone.

Uhm I wonder how many of the ones bothering with a reply have a clear idea of what the market cap, volume and revenue are....
The stock is solid, but to say that Nintendo is worth as much as sony.....

Or more specifically, without the luxury of subsidiary arms, Sony and MS wouldn't have been able to stage their bleeding edge high stakes casino fight from gen 7. They'd have been forced to go with a completely ordinary low-tech box. They'd have been Nintendo, basically.
The reason the division is profitable is because they essentially stopped wasting money trying to get into the US market. The US isn't a high margin territory or a well functioning market - if you're going to invest then investing elsewhere will generate a better return.
I know there's a tendency on GAF to think that the US is the greatest market and it's all that matters, but sometimes ignoring unprofitable markets is good. Being a big market doesn't make it profitable.
Welcome to me reading the posts about Pictures.

Sony movie studios is a joke. Shut it down.

Exactly.
Of course if that hadn't happened it may not have forced Nintendo to take the Wii/DS risk and/or hedge that risk with very cheap, weak hardware. I wonder what a normal console would have been like if it were the regular, non-billions losing step up from PS2/GC level... we'll never know I guess.

I don't know much about Nintendo financials, but I take it they're a stably profitable company that likes to pay ample dividends. They also have a lot of growth potential through their IP. Finally, they're free of debt. If I were an investor, I'd be decently confident that current Nintendo would stick around making money. That's what they've been doing almost consistently for over 30 years.

Glad I bought Nintendo stock a few months ago when it was undervalued.
That timeline in OP really puts into perspective how they grew back from losing it all. Well deserved.
Hmmmm
Most gaming companies are priced at a premium.
Ubisoft, cd Projekt etc all have 2x valuation in the span of a year.
But personally, Nintendo kinda needs to replicate Supercell global success or beat its peers in the saturated Japanese mobile market. I also don't think the switch is a wii like success, I think it would have issues reaching 2/3 of Wii install base.
But then again, the online subscription fees that net PlayStation billion could be there for Nintendo though the price is like 1/3 of it and it's lacking third parties mp pull.
Not sure why you put "At best"; That's exactly what it means. And that is kinda what a publicly traded company wants.
You should offer financial advice.
Sony? They are aiming for 100 mill PS4's. I see no trouble there.

Predictions like this really are like the Wii days indeed. "Any moment now Nintendo will crater", just repeat that for six years and two consoles later it might partially happen!

Puts into perspective how tiny both of them are in comparison to Microsoft. 50B vs 50B vs 550B.
Well yeah Microsoft is a behemoth.
Comparing all their gaming divisons should be more in line with this threads subject.
Just like the good old times.
Do some people here actually understand how this works? Should I make a thread when Nintendo SH price falls later on (it will thats how market work).
To some people here. Sony consist alot of division. And curently all of them profitable except for Sony Movies. They should have their record profit.
I swear some people here still living in the 2007-2012 era..... For example regarding Sony TV division
Sony Corp.'s resurgence in the premium TV market is starting to threaten the lead enjoyed by South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc., industry data showed Sunday.

Or buy the PlayStation division, and have Switch as the portable hybrid and keep the PS4/PS4pro as the home console.
Have Naughty Dog and Guerrilla make games for the Switch and have Sakurai and make Smash for PS4.
Oh god yes please. Such an awful studio.

The Nintendo Switch.
Yep though I think what hurt them in the past has been their rep of being more expensive even though they aren't of a much better quality than their competitors. I'm personally planning on getting a Sony X900e in a few months since its one of the best TVs for HDR gaming and its $2,000 for the 65" model which isn't that different of a price from similar quality models from other brands.
This is honestly not that impressive. Nintendo stock was always going to jump back to their core value of 70 Billion. Investors are starving for options in the stock market and overvalueing Nintendo as a result. By the time FF7 Remake gets out the market cap of Sony will blow Nintendo away. Clearly we need to look at revenue to get a view on a company their financial health. With a dying 3DS and floundering Switch sales with no third party support,, there is noway Nintendo can keep this up
Yep Sony pictures is set up to have a huge year. Which is why the 1 billion good will money was used last year.

Good.
Iwata absolutely set this company on the right path before his death. Both with the Switch and the way they approach mobile gaming.
RIP
This isn't true anymore. Sony is actually doing great in the TV space recently.
Market Cap is how much Nintendo is worth... it's the best estimate of how much it would take to buy the company outright...
Currently, investors would likely have to pay more to takeover Nintendo than they would Sony.
I just missed this part that was edited in and now I'm utterly baffled by the preceding paragraph.
It's sarcasm right?

This is going to be nothing but up for them, and not becuase of a fast boom, but because of other media endevours that will make Nintendo stable for a lot of years, like Osaka, Orlando and Hollywood building huge ninhtendo areas with the latest technologies for Mario Kart. People are going to flock to them same as Wizarding world did. And then theres probably and even bigger phase 2 in the future.
And its very possible they have some movies prepared for the future with their franchises.
If they use any Mario motives during the olympics, thats also going to help, 2020 is going to be HUGE for them. If you are going to buy shares, buy them now.
