Can Nintendo's Next Move Redefine Gaming Again?In the high-stakes world of gaming entertainment, Nintendo stands at a fascinating inflection point. With a 69% profit plunge and declining Switch sales, conventional wisdom might suggest trouble for the Japanese gaming giant. Yet, history shows that Nintendo often thrives most when challenged, using periods of transition to revolutionize how we play – just as they did with the Wii's motion controls and the Switch's hybrid concept.
The company's current strategy reveals a sophisticated understanding of modern entertainment ecosystems. While managing the sunset of the Switch era, Nintendo is simultaneously expanding its reach through Hollywood partnerships, innovative hardware accessories, and digital services. This multi-pronged approach suggests that Nintendo's vision extends far beyond traditional gaming boundaries, potentially setting the stage for a more comprehensive entertainment experience.
What makes this moment particularly intriguing is Nintendo's proven ability to create new market categories rather than just competing in existing ones. As the company prepares to announce its next gaming platform before March 2025, the real question isn't just about new hardware specifications – it's about how Nintendo might once again reshape our understanding of entertainment. With its rich IP portfolio and history of innovation, Nintendo appears to be orchestrating not just a product launch, but potentially a new chapter in how we interact with digital entertainment.
The coming months will reveal whether Nintendo can once again transform challenge into opportunity, as it has done repeatedly throughout its 134-year history. For investors and industry observers alike, this represents more than a financial turning point – it's a window into the future of interactive entertainment.

When Virtual Worlds Collide: The Price of Digital Illusions?In the ever-evolving landscape of digital entertainment, a storm is brewing that challenges our perceptions of virtual reality and corporate responsibility. Roblox, a titan in the gaming industry, finds itself at the epicenter of a controversy that transcends mere numbers and pixels. As allegations of inflated user data and compromised child safety measures emerge, we are compelled to question the very foundations upon which our digital utopias are built.
This saga serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between innovation and integrity in the tech world. It challenges us to look beyond the dazzling facades of virtual playgrounds and confront the sobering realities that may lurk beneath. As investors, parents, and digital citizens, we are called to critically examine the metrics and safeguards that shape our online experiences and those of our children.
The Roblox controversy is not just a cautionary tale; it's a catalyst for a broader dialogue about the future of digital platforms and their impact on society. It prompts us to envision a world where transparency and user safety are not just buzzwords but the cornerstones of technological progress. As we stand at this crossroads, the choices we make and the standards we uphold will determine whether our digital futures will be defined by illusion or authenticity, by profit or protection.
In this pivotal moment, we are all stakeholders in the outcome. The questions raised by this controversy challenge us to become more discerning consumers, more vigilant guardians, and more engaged participants in shaping the digital landscapes we inhabit. As we ponder the true cost of our virtual indulgences, we must ask ourselves: Are we ready to demand more from the architects of our digital worlds, and in doing so, forge a path towards a more transparent and secure online future for all?
DraftKings can it go Higher? $DKNGWith another year of increased Revenues DraftKings is poised to see higher gains. " In August, DraftKings took the U.S. online gambling lead, according to a new study by prominent research entity Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, capturing 31% of overall gross gaming revenue compared to FanDuel’s 30%. " - frontofficesports.com
Electronic Arts: Take the Plunge! 💪As it has finished wave (B) in red, Electronic Arts should take the plunge and jump below the support at $108.53 to dive into the green zone between $119.33 and $113.17. There, the share should complete wave (C) in red as well as wave 2 in green before turning upwards again. However, Electronic Arts might also decide to develop a new top of wave alt.1 in green above the resistance at $132.87 first. We rate this alternative route with a probability of 37%.
Long Trade in DKNGThe leisure gaming group, as a whole, is setting up in a textbook breakout pattern.
Group moves like this can be powerful. The combination of a group move and a similar pattern from an individual stock within that group can lead to a strong advance higher.
DraftKings is breaking out of a clean base in the beginning of a new Stage 2 uptrend.
If you look at a daily chart, you'll see the stock is up 13% this week but running into longer term resistance.
Ideally, DKNG would consolidate for a few days in the HKEX:21 - HKEX:22 range to absorb any supply from sellers looking to exit near 52-week highs.
There are 2 places I would consider buying this stock…
First would be a breakout to new highs above HKEX:22 on above average volume. This would signal to me that funds are still buying heavy, and I would want to be along for the ride.
The other potential buy point would be a pullback into the moving averages and this week’s breakout area.
At HKEX:19 - HKEX:20 a share, I would be a buyer in DKNG with a sell stop just beneath the 50-day moving average.
EA - Bullish Divergence on Daily.Hi guys. Ideas on this post are my own opinions and for educational purposes as i try to express my thoughts. This is by no means financial advise, as i am NOT a financial advisor.
Lets jump in. So this is an update on the Daily timeframe.
I am still long unless proven otherwise.
Infact the Daily is more powerful than the 12hr and 8 hr.
We are curretly below the the 0.5 FIb level. The end of this week needs to have a close above with confirmation. So watch the weekly as well!
On the Daily we broke out of this short term white downward trend line pushing price down.
And the price action currently in this area seems like consolidation to me. Alot of volume, bigger candles than previously seem on intermediate term also seen.
Bullish Divergence is still intact. Where price action is pointed downwards but indicators are pointing upwards. I got 3 indicators showing confluence on this divergence.
STOCH RSI, is crossing above the 20 level, momentum could pick up! Keep an eye.
For places to sell, keep an eye on:
1. Red trend line above us
2. 0.618 fib
3. Price Gap
Hope this helps. Let me know what you think! Like, Comment, Follow for more of my ideas!
Thank you for your time!

Is Facebook ready to buy a major gaming stock?Facebook’s transition into Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) and Mark Zuckerberg’s big push into the metaverse — the concept of a shared 3D virtual platform where people can socialize, work, and play — spurred a sector-wide move by tech companies to branch out into other areas like gaming.
The burgeoning gaming industry has transformed into a $198.4 billion sector in 2021, far exceeding the combined market size of the box office and the music industry, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.
Meta and VR gaming
Even before Meta announced its push into the metaverse in October 2021, the social media behemoth has built a presence in the gaming market with its acquisition of virtual reality company Oculus in 2014. Meta’s foray into the metaverse would make its Oculus VR headsets more appealing to the market amid strong competition against other VR headsets in the market like HTC’s (TPE:2498) HTC Vive and Sony’s (NYSE:SONY) PlayStation VR.
A sharper focus on gaming would encourage Facebook to double down on its investments in the gaming sector far beyond hardware and building a metaverse. The company, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, could soon build an army of tech talents that specialize in gaming.
Meta gobbles up gaming studios
In the months before it rebranded into Meta, Facebook went on an acquisition spree buying small gaming studios. Among its most recent acquisitions in the gaming space are studios Ready at Dawn, Unit 2 Games, VR firm BigBox VR, Downpour Interactive and Sanzaru Games.
However, Meta has yet to spend billions of dollars on a gaming company since its acquisition of Oculus in 2014 for $2 billion, raising the prospect of a potential acquisition of a larger gaming studio similar to recent moves by Sony, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO).
Multi-billion gaming deals
Three multi-billion dollar gaming deals welcomed the year in January, starting with Take-Two’s plans to buy mobile video game company Zynga for $12.7 billion, which was thought to be the gaming industry’s biggest acquisition on record until Microsoft announced that it is buying Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), the studio behind the Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch and Call of Duty franchises, for $68.7 billion in cash.
Microsoft said the deal would make it the world’s third-largest gaming company in terms of revenue behind Tencent (HKG:0700) and Sony. Two weeks later, Sony said it is buying Bungie, the video game developer behind the Destiny and Halo franchises, for $3.6 billion.
Which gaming studio is Facebook eyeing?
With Meta’s intentions to promote the metaverse concept, industry watchers are now waiting for the company’s next big move. Meta will likely look to gobble up a gaming studio with a massive presence in the market such as France’s Ubisoft (OTCMKTS:UBSFY), the developer behind Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot last month hinted that it is open to offers from companies.
Roblox (NYSE:RBLX), Playtika Holding (NASDAQ:PLTK) and Super League Gaming (NASDAQ:SLGG) are also likely targets if Meta chooses to snap up the bargains on these companies after their shares tumbled to near record lows recently.
In June 2021, Meta bought Unit 2 Games, the studio behind Roblox-like gaming platform Crayta.
VERACITY (VRA) waiting for a breakoutVeracity is a Protocol and Product Layer Platform for Esports and Video Entertainment.
It is a long-term investment that I have been monitoring for a long, lengthy time.
I am certain that Esports will flourish in the future years. In addition to the entire gaming industry.
However, the market has skyrocketed, and care must be taken not to buy in at the top, so I'm keeping an eye on some tokens that have retreated and Veracity is one of them.
It is currently in one H1 channel on daily support, I'll try to enter the market with a stop loss below the channel if there is a breakout to the upside.

RBLX back to retest 100! RBLX Daily TF
Roblox on discount, as price continues to drop due to a decline in active users. After a massive rally to ATH its only right we see a pullback before the rocket takes off again. Has a bit more room for a golden retracement to .618 level (76.96). Wouldn't jump the gun on calls just yet unless downtrend is broken which signals reversal or we get a dip to 76 level.
Targets: 90, 103, 117
Trade idea:
76-80 scale in month out calls atm/otm, full entry on the breakout of downtrend

$CRSR: A Criminally Undervalued Tech StockMy ideas are included in the chart.
I don't think the technicals of this are very encouraging, nor is the fact that insiders can soon sell. But I do believe the fundamentals of this stock are solid.
My basic thesis is that given future prospects, this is significantly undervalued; something difficult to find in our current tech environment.
Let me know your ideas in the comments.
CRSR longCRSR has a great long-term potential in the gaming industry, which probably would get even bigger in the following years. It sits at a very good risk/reward for long-term play, especially after the recent pullback.
Couple of points to consider for swing trade:
1- It is sitting at VPOC on the 4h chart.
2- Following its uptrend in pitchfork
3- Has strong supports around 36, 35, and 32.
4- short-term target 48.
Trade safe!
GameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board SeatsGameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board Seats
GameStop Corp. jumped after activist investor Ryan Cohen stepped up his transformation efforts at the struggling video-game retailer, gaining a seat on the company’s board along with two allies.
Cohen’s RC Ventures -- GameStop’s second-largest shareholder, with a 13% stake -- has been pressing the Grapevine, Texas-based chain to undertake a strategic review to cut more costs. Cohen, the entrepreneur who helped build up the Chewy pet-supply site, also wants GameStop to increase the variety of products and services it offers online.
“We are excited to bring our customer-obsessed mindset and technology experience to GameStop and its strategic assets,” Cohen said in a statement Monday.
The stock rocketed up 210% last year on hopes that it would benefit from the release of new video-game consoles. GameStop lost some ground in early December after reporting third-quarter sales that missed estimates and announcing plans to sell more stock, but it rebounded toward the year’s end.
Along with Cohen, Alan Attal and Jim Grube are joining the GameStop board. Both men worked with Cohen at Chewy.
That news seemed to overshadowed a disappointing holiday sales release from GameStop, GameStop reported a 4.8% year-over-year increase in comparable-store sales for the nine-week holiday period ended Jan. 2. Coronavirus-related losses of store traffic knocked a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage off those sales, the company said, and net sales dropped 3.1% to $1.77 billion.
finance.yahoo.com
GameStop CEO George Sherman said in the news release that “together, we have reached an outcome that is in the best interest of all stockholders and can enable GameStop to accelerate efforts to deliver enhanced value for the company.”
Excitement that Cohen can help turn things around was compounded by the stock’s high short interest, estimated at about 58% of shares available for trading, according to data from S3 Partners. That’s left the stock primed for a short squeeze. But the rise of digital game downloads amid declining earnings necessitate a bold new strategy.

$ATVI can rise in the next daysContextual immersion trading strategy idea.
