OffTopic > Do you own Nintendo shares?

Seeing that Nintendo is having so much fun selling the DS and the Wii, I want some too, so I bought some Nintendo shares. How do you feel about Nintendo?

If I were old enough/had the money to invest, Nintendo is doing very well, considering the Wii and DS Lites are selling like crazy and the numbers are way above Sony and Microsoft's offerings.

And Nintendo's cool, I have a GBC, GBA, DS regular, GC, and Wii...

I'd want a DS Lite but I'm saving money for a homebrew launcher for gamecube and some Wii games.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

You should have bought them 3 years ago. Now you have to hope their next product release will sell like these two.

Well considering the Wii is using practically the same hardware as the Cube I'm guessing that they are making hardware profits already!

Well...The Wii seems to be doing pretty well...

It was hard to find one when I got mine, I had to get it the day they came in stock, and they only were in stock like every 2 weeks. A week or so later, I was at Target (where I got my Wii) looking at Wii games, and in the short period I was looking, they sold 2 Wii consoles (it was a day they had just stocked up, and already there were only 3 left).

And considering I"m playing mine right now...yeah, it's a great console, just wish it had homebrew :(

Right, but the major stock impact from the DS and Wii are pretty much over. Your only looking at profit reports. It's when they announce a new device, and it sells faster than they can produce it, do you get the spike that everyone likes.
