Pokémon Pokopia fertilizes Nintendo shares
Following the first very positive feedback around Pokémon Pokopiainvestors reacted quickly. Nintendo shares thus recorded a significant increase on the financial markets and reached a level rarely observed in recent months.. According to information relayed by Bloomberg, the Japanese manufacturer’s stock jumped by around 15% in just two days after the game’s release.
Nintendo’s stock rose from ¥9,120 (€46.63) on Tuesday to ¥10,075 (€54.82) today (an increase of 10.4%) before closing at ¥9,932 (€54.05).
This progression can be explained in particular by the enthusiasm around the Pokémon life simulation which seems to have enjoyed phenomenal commercial success in recent days. Even if we will have to wait for official figures to fully understand the extent of the phenomenon, it is almost certain that many people have taken the step towards the Switch 2 generation thanks to Pokémon Pokopia.
The Pokémon franchise remains one of the pillars of the Nintendo ecosystem. Each new major release is generally synonymous with commercial success, despite the sometimes virulent criticism addressed to the latest games in the main series, particularly on a technical level. This time, however, Pokémon Pokopia seems to have convinced a large majority of fans of the pocket monsters. It’s not us who are going to contradict them, since we were totally absorbed by the concept during our test.
