A few months ago we were wondering if Nintendo and the Wii U could get back into the console race. Well, according to the stock numbers the answer is yes. Nintendo’s stocks are up an incredible 19.4% since May. That’s impressive!
There are a couple different reasons for this increase. First of all, Mario Kart 8 certainly pushed sales of the Wii U forward. The promise of the release of Super Smash Bros. has also lead many people to purchase a Wii U ahead of time. In addition, the announcement of the brand new Amiibo figurines have lead many investors to think that Nintendo will see a sales surge from collectors soon enough. There is also the new Legend of Zelda, Bayonetta 2 , and several other projects for people to get excited about.
So what do you think? Is the Wii U back in the game? Will you be purchasing one?
