torrentthief Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The xbox one event was during the daytime (before the 4pm close of the stock market), the ps4 event was after the stock market closed, that is why there is a massive change in share prices for both companies when the stock market opened the morning after.

torrentthief Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Oh, the good old stock market daily changes posts. What a "massive change" It is supposed to show that share holders are not happy with microsoft's console compared to the ps4, i think that is rather news worthy. fusi0n and +Anarkii 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMike Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Didn't Sony only come out of the red last month after 4 years of straight losses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp0 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It doesn't make sense to read into stock changes like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you want hyperbole...Sony crashed hard after Xbox One reveal and now failing to recover after PS4 E3 show or more likely scenario: Pointless thread is pointless. daily trading up-downs doesn't mean anything.

Also, MS is approaching a 10 year high, Sony not so much (Stock price is a 3rd of what it was in 2007). Explain those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted June 12, 2013 Member Share Posted June 12, 2013 It doesn't make sense to read into stock changes like this. The stock market fluctuates based on what is currently happening. I sure wouldn't use this to measure long term results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudtrooper Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Sony's stock has been on a slight rise because there is a rumor that the company will be split. Microsoft's stock is sitting at year long highs and just fluctuating with the market as a whole. No investor is going to invest or remove their investment based upon the PS4 or Xbox One, you just don't invest that way. They're long term bets anyway. This is one of those times where you need to learn the difference of "thinking fast" and "thinking slow" - Once you actually step back from your fanboi goggles and look at the market as a whole and evaluate all the metrics facing Sony or Microsoft you will realize how incredibly wrong and short sighted it is to wage so much value on product announcements - especially for products not shipping for MONTHS. Either way, Sony is a fairly large risk and some people are gambling on the split. Microsoft is pretty stable and the daily fluctuation have been about the same.

FlintyV Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Silly story is silly. Sony's stock also happened to take a hit the day they announced the Playstation 4 back in February, before Microsoft even announced their next console. Tiny stock fluctuations like this mean nothing.

HawkMan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 oh another one of those" I don't understand how stocks work so I draw some random conclusions" threads. The stock market has very little if anything to do with the real world performance of a company. the stocks is basically a "game" of it's own that runs parallel to the companies daily activities. only in a very general sense do they have any relation.

Colin.B Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Wait....You guys mean to tell me that Sony and MS's future doesn't solely hinge on one specific product meant for playing video games and E3 press conferences *don't* impact the stock market? Mind....Blown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
