Some analysts expecting disappointment from Wii U, smarter ones give the system a chance
Check out this snippet from an Orlando Sentinel article...
Investors are expecting to be disappointed by the Wii U, said Mizuho Securities analyst Takeshi Koyama. Nintendo shares are trading just over 9,000 yen ($115.35), lows not seen since November 2003.
The market has begun to accept the possibility that "the situation is going to get worse after this year's E3," Koyama said in Tokyo.
Macquarie analysts disagreed, however, saying it will take a couple of years to show clearly whether the Wii U is a success or failure. And with $14 billion in cash, much of it made from the boon supplied by the original Wii, Nintendo has plenty of runway to gamble.
What the hell kind of analyst is already calling the Wii U a disappointment? You'd think they'd at least let us get through this E3 before they decide that. You know, so they can see some of the software that will sell the system?
At least other analysts realize that a lot of things can happen within the first few years of a console's lifespan. I mean, look at the polar opposites the 3DS saw from launch to now? I swear, sometimes I think there's more at play in these analysts' minds than just analysis.
