Shortly after Nintendo's Wii U announcement, their shares on the stock market dropped by 5.7 percent. That's unheard of, and is the biggest drop in five years for Nintendo. Yusuke Tsunoda, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities, said "There were high expectations from the new version of the Wii, and this fell short. People had expected to see something more at a big event like E3, but there wasn't really anything more than what's already reported." I can partly agree with Tsunoda because Nintendo's Wii U wasn't something out of the ordinary. If you think about it, their gaming line up is decent, but the product it self doesn't look too attractive nor promising. However, when the original Wii was announced, the reactions were similar. People had their doubts and weren't too psyched for it, but the Wii turned out to be quiet successful. It surely did fall short of people's expectations, but we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

Will you guy's be giving your money to Nintendo for the Wii U?

I'm just looking forward to Wii moving back to more hardcore gaming. I hope it's more gamecube and less wii.

I will never buy another Wii.

Im pretty po'd about this I am really dissapointed in Nintendo and them not blowing us away with a new console this just looks... like a waste of money... I think...

No it looks useless, makes no sense. Nintendo I think has made a big mistake, their primary group is children and do you think this controller is going to be suitable for children? No because if that gets broke quite easily then parents would have to buy another and they are not cheap like previous controllers costing I expect to be about £80. Major mistake.

neve buy a nintendo system besdies nintendo ds =]

It looks interesting. Lets hope it doesn't cost too much.

Same thing happened when the 3DS was announced. It came back up though, IIRC.

Nintendo are going way too "Kiddie" friendly.

This will again probably appeal to 12 year old kids and 60 year olds undergoing physical therapy.
