Nintendo Rocking Japanese Stock Market
A technicality could be responsible for Nintendo's high placement as well, as trading of the potentially more valuable Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was suspended this week in preparation for a planned split of the stock. Regardless, Nintendo recently reclaimed its long-absent top spot in the console race, with worldwide Wii sales of 9 million consoles.
In comparison, Microsoft's second-place Xbox 360 sold 8.9 million units worldwide as of July, with a one year head start on Nintendo's console. Nintendo's stock has quadrupled over the past two years following the wildfire sales of the DS and Wii, the Reuters story reports.

replyAfter reading this news post I kinda feel like going back and reading reports and comments from when the Wii was unveiled. :)

Graphics power aside, people were generally very positive about the Wii when it was revealed and just after launch, if I remember correctly. It's only recently that some (including myself TBH) have turned against it a bit due to the lack of the types of games we want to play (which doesn't seem to be harming hardware sales much at all).

Putting Shack aside (can't remember here for sure), I want to recall reading A LOT of posts along the lines "what are they thinking?" and "Nintendo is going to die, like Sega, this generation" and so on.

ya sites like IGN where going insane when they showed the wiimote and the true name. both came with "what where they thinking?" and "3rd party". now they attack games like brain age and wii sports.
