Ooouch!! ... That's got to hurt. "Shares in games company Nintendo have sunk following news that its new console will not go on sales during the crucial Christmas season. Nintendo admitted that its 3DS machine, which features 3D technology, will not be ready in time, and more than halved its profit forecast for the year. In Tokyo, shares in Nintendo closed down 9.3%. The 3DS will now go on sale in Japan in February, and reach shops in Europe and the US in March. Nintendo cut its profit forecast sharply, saying it now expected to make 90bn yen ($1.1bn; £681m) in the year to March 2011, down from the 200bn yen previously predicted." Source: BBC |
