I believe it's now the third time at least you've said that in this thread.
From Zhuge's long explanation:
Well, to be fair at least this time you said "LTD" (which could be in years) rather than this year like before.
So, this is how the stock market works. The game performed very well, holding a two month number one spot. However, as time into the year has expanded investors and firms are worried that the title has now been faded to obscurity and it only capitalized for it's release window. Likely they're afraid of the sustainability of the game, likely mostly in the West and what the future looks like. Just because you release a big hit doesn't mean the company is doing well or can continue to perform, given Capcom's track record it was likely too much of a surge for the success of MHW and things are calming back down as reality sets in.
I said *above* 10 million LTD (which is easily doable) but there is still a chance for it to do 10 million this year with the PC release.

LOL people really need to stop going crazy over stock. This is how stocks fluctuate all the time. The PC version is going to make them PLENTY of money. I know I will pick it up around 30 or 40.
The stock is back to where it was before. So much for that hypothesis lol.

Would you look at that.

Black magic
Obviously stock holders realize now's the time to invest just before Capcom re-releases Mega Man X7 to the world!
Guys the stock market has forward thinking priced in. A game could sell 20 million copies - thats priced in. What this is likely in relation to is the forward catalogue. Investors may be spooked sales will slow in the future, and Capcom does not have a huge pipeline of games coming forward, which means future revenue could be lower than the priced in amount of the current stock.
Its rational.
Edit: And I see its gone back up. Clearly other investors felt the drop was not warrented and bought more stock on the cheap. Also rational behavior. The two investors have a different view of the future, but are acting within their own rational thinking.

Stock trade is glorified clairvoyance. More news at 11.By the way, Capcom's stock have fully recovered from the drop mentioned in the OP:
It doesn't really matter though because in a forum filled with people who don't really understand or care about the stock market, these threads are mostly just thinly (or in this thread's case, not thinly at all) veiled concern trolling console war threads. It served its purpose at the time.
Got a two week ban I believe. was for bad faith posting and creating console wars drama. Check OP's post history and it should be clear why he was banned.
That's because people react to new news. Most don't react to old threads being bumped.
Making threads about stock variations is always a mess anyway.
By the way, Capcom's stock have fully recovered from the drop mentioned in the OP:
Did they release something recently? Im nkt gonna claim I know anything about how stocks work, but fluctuation is based in activity, right? And I can't think of anything major. Except like... Cody, but a DLC character wouldn't do that.
Perhaps people just thought it was undervalued and it was a good time to buy. You got news of RE2 winning E3 awards and MHW preorders doing 1m in China. So maybe that convinced enough people.
I'd love to see Capcom experiment on the switch console, as they did with the Nintendo ds but one can only dream.
Perhaps read the discussions too since Aquamarine provided excellent info to why some may be concerned with Capcom and why there was discussion.
Not saying there isn't a discussion to be had. But stock value constantly fluctuates based on news. So you could have a thread every day based on these fluctuations and discuss why it keeps changing.
It just seemed funny to me that negative news gets so much discussion and posts like this one.
But when things go up , the discussion stops. And if you see the earlier replies to my posts , it seems it was the OPs intention to troll with this thread anyway.

I realize what the thread was used for, to create a contrast to how people react to Nintendo stocks and other companies. It was done in bad faith but it was still new news with important bits of info as to why they lowered Capcom to underperforming and citing MHW as a risk. You'll also notice plenty of people who kept saying "who cares about legs" and variations of in this thread where longevity was the entire point of marking them down.
Zelda collaboration in Generations Ultimate.By the way, Capcom's stock have fully recovered from the drop mentioned in the OP:
Most hilarious things was all the "MHW had disappointing legs compared to the 3DS games" posts in this thread despite it selling more than 3 millions past its launch month, more than any other MH game did life time post launch month except maybe Portable 3rd on the PSP!
Yep, you can see the stock climb slowing down just as the Zelda collaboration was announced. ;)
That's the whole point of the mark down. They were hoping for a similar slow decline as past titles and not be something so entirely front loaded. The needle has largely not moved for MHW. It will once the PC version comes, but even then the stockholders that lowered Capcom also felt a lack of confidence that the PC version will be the shot in the arm for extended longevity.
And Capcom has done poorly with their post-game GaaS model of MHW to keep people engaged with the product.
Re Playing Botw and seeing that is like holy crap MHGU is hideous.
This is exactly what I'm pointing out. Saying MHW post launch performance is disappointing compared to expectations is one thing. Saying it's disappointing compared to past titles is just people pushing their "should have stayed on handheld" agenda since non of the past MH games moved 3 millions in only 5 months post release!
