Nintendo gradually going upwards

I am a big fan of Nintendo. I own their modern system, the Wii, and their handheld, the DS. They make really great games, too.
Their stocks are doing pretty good, too. A year ago, they were hovering around $20 per share. Now, they are hovering around $60 per share. I’m not invested in them, but  after seeing their value triple over the past year, I almost wish that I had. (I had jokingly mentioned investing in Nintendo before the “Wii” came out with some of my extra spending money)
I have no idea about stock prices, but games and sales wise, this next year seems to be one that will bring in lots of sales for Nintendo. The Wii is sure to be a hit this holiday season, bundled under thousands of Christmas trees. Nintendo’s heavy hitter games are coming out this fall. Mario, the beloved top selling franchise, is installing a new game this fall. Smash Brothers new installment is coming out late this fall also. Those two games are sure to not only bring in a lot of software sales, but extra hardware sales also, seeing as there is quite a crowd who will decide they want the Wii after playing Smash Brothers Brawl.

My favorite site to keep updated is on wii.ign.com, although nintendo.com does have some good updates from time to time.
