Nintendo and its Pokémon Go? There Are Other Successful Gaming Companies As Well on The Stock Market!

Thanks to Pokémon Go, Nintendo‘s stocks have sold well in the past few days. But that’s not all – let us name a few of the big N’s rivals, who are „hotter”: Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, Take-Two Interactive, and NVidia. All of these companies had surged to record highs this week, and even struggling GoPro saw a lift in its shares!

According to CNN , GoPro’s success is thanks to its augmented reality (AR) camera, and Pokémon Go uses similar technology.

The market for mobile games, as well as AR/virtual reality (VR) games, are being slowly bought out by the bigger companies. Activision purchased King Digital, the makers of Candy Crush Saga; Microsoft bought out Minecraft-maker Mojang (plus they are also in the AR/VR game with HoloLens), and Facebook acquired Oculus two years ago.

Electronic Arts‘, Activision Blizzard‘s, and Take-Two‘s financial success is due to PC, and console games, though, although with the exception of Take-Two, everyone else is slowly making steps towards the AR/VR games, too. Investors believe that the publishers’ sales and earnings will grow in the next few years, as all three console manufacturers are working on a stronger console (although we have yet to see how much third-party support will the NX get).

Nintendo has revitalized the market, even though they cannot reach the heights of success of the Wii with the Pokémon-collecting mobile game.
