Shares in Nintendo fell by a further 8.7 per cent today (Friday, October 3rd, 2008) following the news that the company was to release a new iteration of the DS handheld hardware, the DSi.

"Nintendo's announcement on the DS didn't exceed investors' expectations,'' said Yoku Ihara, head of equity research at Retela Crea Securities Com according to Bloomberg. "The stock market was so bearish that the news didn't help the shares gain.''

    ... what? 179 bux for a mildly modified DS? I wonder why nobody is impressed. That's a ridiculous price :S

        u srs? And I'd think an iPhone would be a much more useful tool...
        Not a smart move from Nintendo.

            I don't. The drives are way too small for me to handle and the fact that I would keep it in my pocket would probably break it quickly.

    I go where I please, and I please where I go

    This just in: Nintendo not only ignoring core market, every other market as well. All products from now on serve only to fellate Reggie's ego further.

    I've honestly had enough of their bullshit, I remember the days when being a nintendo fanboy meant you were older than 10.
