What went so, so wrong nintenbros? How are they making so little from this year's biggest Facebook meme?

>Nintendo just entered into a $30 million partnership with Niantic and the Pokemon Company to create the game.
>the Silicon Valley giants [apple and Google] take their respective 30%, then 30% go to the game developer Niantic, another 30% will go to the Pokemon franchise, and about 10% are left for Nintendo.

And the game is not even released worldwide.

How do you suck at math that bad?

No, they only have a 30% share in them.

GO is not a Nintendo game, only shitposters try to at like it is. Nintendo just greenlight it (and it's speculated to have been Iwata's idea) to boost their marketing a bit - they didn't expect this colossal boom from it, though.

No, they invested into the partnership with Niantic, Inc. Other games will follow from this partnetship, plus the Niantic developer team can assist with their other mobile ventures that they'd already planned.

>NINTENDO LOSES $28 MILLION FROM POKEMON GO

"Nintendo's" 30 million dollar investment is actually split between them, google, and the pokemon company(which normally doesn't matter, but if you're going to count the pokemon company's investment as nintendo's, you should count their cut in favor of nintendo), and 1/3rd of it is conditional upon performance, meaning nintendo's only handed over 7 million. Given that they've made a million bucks in the first week, it looks like a sound investment.
>>
What a lot of people are failing to realise is that companies spend this much, or more, on advertising alone.
This is advertising plus steady income from the app itself.
Sure it'll take a while for the income to offset the investment, but that's normally the case. However, this is also going to boost sales of Pokemon merchandise and games.

Even if they don't break even from the in app profits (which they will), they'll make a huge profit from the associated boost in popularity of the Pokemon brand.

Nintendo owns a majority stake in The Pokémon Company as well as a large stake in Niantic, ya glue huffing retard. They've made far more than $1.4 million off the game, since they make money whenever the other two companies do as well.
>>
>>345207324

>n-n-nintendo isn't dying guys look at those healthy sales! I LOVE AMIIBO
>>
>>345208456
I'm the original anon, not him, but I'll explain. It's not bad, however the stock prices we see are the secondary market, Nintendo gets no direct benefit from the price going up unless the company holds shares and sells, or if they do an additional offering on the primary market. If the company's fundamentals don't reflect the share price, that price will go back down. Serious investors will look at that, and if a company is hoping to get some funds on the bond market any bond rating groups will look at the company itself.

In other words, right now Nintendo is not making money from the stock price shooting up

You guys are all idiots. Japanese business plays the stock game.

Nintendo was SHIT for over 10 years So they bought back all their stocks for cheap.

Then they release all their good shit at once and their stocks skyrocket.

Any profits from games they make is gravy on top of the roast that is their stock portfolio.

The three million is for mobile partnership in general. And the game has been released for what, a week?

Nintendo is also making bank of their stocks, I have not seen a company that does not invest in their stocks. And 10% of 4million is 400 k, not 160k.

What's the Wii U's post-death drought got to do with the GO boom?

GO doing so well is serving as excellent marketing as even news networks are reporting the phenomenon, not to mention it's affecting people's daily lives as they play or see people wandering around for pokemon. I realise people always try to see the negative in everything, but for once it's just not there.

Do you think that nintendo just gave niantic 30 million bucks for nothing or something?

A: They didn't give them 30 million, they gave them one third of that
>The investment from The Pokemon Company Group, Google, and Nintendo includes $20 million upfront and an additional $10 million "conditioned upon achieving certain milestones."
B: They paid that 10 million in order to own 10% of niantic.

Basically, this is nintendo's best investment ever. They're getting paid three times. They get a cut for owning niantic, a cut for owning the pokemon company, and a cut of their own.

Problem is, it's LESS than Appool or Goggle make. You see business is all about perceeeeeptions. And if you don't manage your perceeeeeptions then your stoooock drops.

You guys realize the contract is basically an exclusivity contract, as in they'll only be working with each other and Sony can't butt in to work with Niantic for their next game, right?

So Nintendo will profit off of this.
Then Niantic will put out some Mario Kart app in a couple years and Nintendo will profit off of that
And so on.

This deal is going to make Nintendo a LOT of money. You'd have to be a fanboyish retard to not see that.

It's a huge marketing campaign. It wasn't even intended to be as big as it did, but it was always intended to help market Nintendo to the younger mobile audience.

It is the most used app. When people inevitably buy pokeballs or lures or whatever, they'll spend money. If everyone playing spends a few dollars, Nintendo will make back the loss. Juse give it time, it JUST launched in Japan today along with a bunch of other countries. People also will probably inevitably spend money to keep playing on days they run out of pokeballs and the stops aren't cutting it.

You realize that companies tend to buy up more of their own stock when it's low, then sell them off when they're high right?
Companies take advantage of the fact that they have a good know how of how each of their announcements and releases will affect their stock, and then use that to make money.
That's one of the points of being publicly traded. You can make a hell of a lot of money off of yourself on the stock market.

Nintendo owns most of pokemon, owns a lot of the copyright on the characters and such, owns a lot of the names, and owns most of the stock on gamefreak.
Pokemon company is something co-owned by Nintendo and Gamefreak, mostly owned by Nintendo.

Basically, they're 'independent', but Nintendo owns enough of Pokemon such that it can never leave Nintendo platforms. Gamefreak can do whatever they want, but Pokemon is for keeps.

Considering they make it too easy to regain items, that was their main mistake. They made an f2p game expecting alot of people to pay for more itmes but they put out so many stops that no one needs to.

ESPECIALLY at colleges, which wouldve been their main cash flow. They shouldnt have put so many at a college to the point where no one needed to buy anything.

I don't get how shitloads of retards are convinced that mobile gaming magically prints money
Downloading a free app gets the dev pennies from advertising, which is fine if you are a small dev, a couple thousand playing your game can make you money to live off of
But as a major company, the only way to make money is microtransactions and even mobile retards have gotten smart about that shit and barely anyone will actually put money into this app and will probably quit it in 2-3 months
>>
>>345212079

OP is playing fast and loose with math and saying nintendo's only making 160k a day, since they only get 10% of sales.

OP is also conveniently ignoring that Nintendo owns a majority stake in the pokemon company, and stakes in niantic(and also that the pokemon company itself owns stakes in niantic)

This doesn't represent any long term health in the company especially if the reason the stock is going up is just a perceived boost in the companies fortunes when in fact it is not and people start selling when it turns out they didn't buy into something that was increasing profits and paying its shareholders nice money.

You are back to square one just with some extra cash that you might be able to do something with but I guess you will be using it in part to buy that stock back.

If it was a perceived boost it would have dropped by now.
The Stock is going to stabilize around 29k yen, maybe 30k if they're lucky. It won't drop until the NX announcement (stock always drops on a console announcement because of uncertainty), but will bounce right back up the second they announce another Niantic mobile game.

Stop crying about Nintendo's supposed imminent demise. It's not happening.

Okay, so here is the deal. That 30% going to the Pokemon Company is going to feed (partially) back into Nintendo. Since they're the majority owners (with Game Freak and Creature being minority holders)

But beyond that. It caused Nintendo's stock price to soar. It proved to the world and more importantly to the company that there is money to be made in the mobile market.

There was always money. Companies just make shit apps with 0 effort and don't have brand recognition.

This is basically ingress with a pokémon reskin. Ingress was pretty decent for a smartphone game, dickriding a brand like Pokemon was obviously going to be a hit in the smartphone area where there's nothing but shit games save for stuff like Granblue, Deresute, Brave Frontier.

Since Niantic was spun off from Google they have been seeking Series A funding. Nintendo through the Pokemon company gave them 20 million upfront, 10 million if they reach goals. This means Nintendo owns a portion of Niantic now and indirectly receives benefits if the game does well.

The Pokemon company and Nintendo are in all regards the same entity. With this increased revenue going to funding future Pokemon games.
