The current fall of Nintendo's stock price is blamed to poor reviews on "Super Mario Run." The stocks of Nintendo had fallen down to 7.1 percent on Monday at the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Prior to Nintendo's "Super Mario Run," a lot of hype have been made since it is the first Super Mario game to run in a mobile-based platform. Due to the anticipation, the game had 5 million downloads within 24 hours. The download gave the company a profit from $4 million to $8.3 million according to Gizmodo.
However, given the figures in millions of dollars, investors are still unhappy with the performance of Nintendo's "Super Mario Run." This is the primary reason why the shares of Nintendo went down. The investors see that the game is not profitable enough because of the bad reviews it is getting from players.
The investors are also concerned with Nintendo's "Super Mario Run's" revenue model. It appears that the Japanese company has no intention yet of adding future contents for the hyped game. Geekwire reported that Michael Pachter from Wedbush Securities believed that the company is utilizing "a bad business model." He also predicted that the company won't have more than 20 million downloads in its first year.
In fact, when checking Apple App Store in iTunes, the current rating of Nintendo's "SSuper Mario Run" is only 2.5 out of 5 stars. The major complaints are crashing app, consumes a lot of data and it is boring for a price of $9.99.
Nintendo's "Super Mario Run"
is the first game of the company that doesn't require the player to use one of the company's consoles. Apple devices can play it now and it will be available for Android users next year.
