The stock price for the Wii assumes it (the Wii) will sell about 60 million consoles. Surely more than ten percent of Wii owners are going to buy this game, am I right?
The same could be said for a lot of the most expensive games. Things like Mario galaxy are likely to be classics, generations from now when we think what games were there on the Wii big franchises like Mario, Zelda, Halo, and Metal Gear will spring to mind first. That and by stock price it seems that the exchange is predicting more than enough Wii's will be sold to support that number.
@orkeater, The stock price is pretty high, but whether it is expensive or cheap is all relative to the product. For a new Mario game, 4.5 million copies is not an overblown initial estimate.
Doesn't the currency exchange go all night, and I know there is a night market, online for commodities on the Chicago mercantile exchange. Plus most people who would be trading on this don’t have time during the day or are mostly awake at night, no?
Your arguments all have truth to them, but.... Stock trading is a game of chance. Whether the chances are or are not in your favor is for you to find out. I personally think this is in my favor.
