This is all building to the launch of the Super Switch. The scalpers mouths are already watering. It's going to be insane trying to get one.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I wouldn't go that far. Nothing is for sure when it comes to gaming.
I need to see the thing first..

My theory is that a Spring/Summer release will happen because of this. That way the day ones won’t butt heads with the holiday buyers.

Some things are pretty certain. The next system is just going to be a more powerful version of the Switch. That is all it needs to be to sell gangbusters

This is gonna be the most hype console launch ever.

You're probably right. But although it would be the best move IMO, a simple more powerful Switch is not a given. They will try to do something else. It's probably going to be considered.
We just don't know. They have said nothing about this yet.. it's all speculation. We don't even have a codename.

Eh I think he is right on that, fucking scalpers are always out in full force when a new console hits, especially considering they tend to have limited supplies and people are willing to buy one even at crazy scalper prices to get one ASAP. The Wii U imploded in the end, but there is that picture of the lady with a van full of Wii Us that floats around here often, and I am willing to bet many more tried to scalp it too.

Take yourself back to the begining of March 2017, and imagine that 7 years later Nintendo would be beating the ever-loving shit out of everyone else in the traditional gaming industry after the Wii U.

I read that this raise in Nintendo stock has happened like every single time before a big announcement since at least, Wii, could be an indicator that information has leaked to investors that an announcement is soon to come. This is a good sign, I think we'll see it soon!
Suddenly people realise Nintendo has mastered the art of selling ancient hardware at top level prices and pofits margins. The masters of cutting corners to save a few bucks with a poor on line set-up. All cleverly masked by great software titles and experiences. Your looking at the left hand, while the right hand slugs you in the face. Perfectly fine and it works almost everytime.

This makes sense, but I doubt it.
What really kept Nintendo afloat the last 25+ years is that you always needed to buy their latest system for the new Pokemon games.
Being able to play the new ones on the old Switch would make the new system a much harder sale. And it’s not like the games are so technically demanding that the old Switch couldn‘t keep running a couple more for the next five years or so.

The “Switch 2” effect. It’s coming..
The stock market is forward looking, things they’ve already done isn’t the reason for this spike. It mainly reflects what investors think may happen in the future.

I don't think anyone is saying that. The new Switch will no doubt play the old ones games but not the other way around.

True, but I am expecting a very underwhelming piece of hardware, and honestly anyone who knows Nintendo should expect the same. Affordable, profitable day-on, and easy to produce in absurd quantities.

I bought NTDOY stock three times. Here's the purchase date, price paid, and return percentage for each:
2/17. $5.16. +158%
6/19. $8.95. +51%
1/21. $15.78. -15%
Overall a gain of 52% since the majority was purchased on 6/19. Gave back all the profits in exchange for marioware.

Unless investors got lucky timing buying Nintendo, it's crazy how such a successful company has such a lousy stock. Unless someone got in and cashed out before 2008 global crisis, or bought in during the down in the dumps Wii U years, it's been hard to make good money on this stock.
Granted this is the US OTC shares, so currency exchange might affect it over the decades, but here it is:

I think basically what happened is Covid messed everything up that they had planned. And the OLED was originally a Switch Pro-type upgrade. And instead they canceled the spec upgrade, and just put the OLED out to extend the lifespan a little. Now they have the technology to do way more than just a Switch Pro, that is so much of an improvement that it can be sold as a new console/ successor. But the naming of the thing… that’s a tough one.
Switch Advance has a nice ring to it, I think.

Depends when you bought I guess…. I’ve been buying stock for 3 years now, my shares are up over 30% plus dividends.Unless investors got lucky timing buying Nintendo, it's crazy how such a successful company has such a lousy stock.
