Nintendo have announced there quarterly earnings report and despite bringing in over $500 million in profits, shares in the company have dropped to a 5-month low. Shares for the company dropped 2.3% to 22,625 yen, the lowest since August 2016.
The two biggest factors are due to Nintendo announcing a cut to their full-year profits by a third and due to the disappointing sales of Super Mario Run. While the game had a very high download rate, only 5% of players actually downloaded the full game.
