Nintendo shares jump 4.1% after Switch console launch success

Nintendo shares rose on Friday to their highest in a month after a smooth debut of Switch, a hybrid console that aims to bring together the worlds of mobile and home gaming.

I said this would happen when n4g attacked Nintendo after the reports of stock decline after the Switch reveal. Switch will bring more profits to Nintendo than even 3DS when it gets steady production. Now release a Pokemon on Switch.

The majority of members on this site hate anything remotely positive about Microsoft or Nintendo. Sony is generally favorable, and it makes the upvote system seem like a terribly ironic joke. I believe websites allow themselves to be Sony centralized because of the huge amount of revenue that fanbase normally brings in. Popular forums like Neogaf, even adhere to the "Sony is King/or Queen {depending on the person's individual perspective}" (Neogaf mods mostly Sony fans) narrative.

This is good news for Nintendo, and hopefully it turns the tide for their gaming console side of their business.

Says the person who has been harping on the last 1 month how "smart phone gaming is the future". Were you one of the people saying that 7 years ago too?
Or how smart phones will be as capable as current gen consoles before no time. How is that related and a positive outcome for the Switch again, the console that can't even match the Xbone in raw power?

You clearly have your own personal allegiances too given your comment history, its just nonsense when somebody like you talks down to everybody from their high horse like they are better. But alas, its just another common type of member on this site.
