@ Orkeater, this is pretty much how the real world works, except the price actually would've fallen a lot faster. Monkspider posted news 2 days ago that Viva Pinata only sold 42,000 copies in November, indicating that the game will probably top out around 300,000 copies. Since the stock price was forecasting 930,000 copies before, people sold down the stock because the game will not sell that many copies. This is similar to a company missing earnings forecasts by A LOT and the stock falling 20% or more.
