Nintendo Wii shares soared +493.69 DKP (+14.9%) this week to close at 3,803.86 DKP (forecasts 38.04 million units sold worldwide) as a wave of news indicating a strong launch has strengthened bullish sentiment for the stock. Nintendo appears on track to ship 4 million Wii systems worldwide in the six weeks between launch day (November 19) and the end of the year. Recent studies show electronics and video games will be the number one choice for holiday shoppers this year. On Wednesday, Walmart launched its $533 Wii pre-order bundle which reportedly sold out in minutes. Demand appears to be in place to consume Nintendo's supply through the end of the year. If this is the case, Nintendo may make great progress catching up with Microsoft's one year lead by year's end.

Shares of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) jumped +22.02 DKP (+12.66%) yesterday with the release of Wii news. Nintendo forecasts that it will ship 4 million Wii systems this holiday season--making it the biggest console roll out of the decade. The Wii will launch with 62 games--32 new Wii titles and 30 classic games. Although Wii buyers will get a copy of Wii Sports right out of the box, many are expected to purchase Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as it is the must-have game in this 32 title Wii launch. Many third party titles are cross platform, such as Madden NFL'07, Call of Duty 3, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent, though they do set themselves apart from their Xbox 360 and PS3 counterparts by offering motion sensing gameplay using the Wii's remote. At this point, it appears for now that Twilight Princess will be the game, on top of Wii Sports, to get to really experience Nintendo's new console at launch.

Final Fantasy XII (PS2) (+6.08 +2.00%) rose to close at 304.10 DKP (forecasts 3.04 million copies sold worldwide) last night following a wave of positive reviews with the game's release Tuesday. Since Monday, the stock has risen +17.89 DKP (+6.12%) from 292.29 DKP. US sales should build strongly on top of the 2.4 million copies of Final Fantasy XII that have already sold in Japan. Critics' reception for the game has been equally positive in the UK and the rest of Europe. Many RPG fans have drawn themselves from their usual World of Warcraft raids for the past few days to explore the world of Ivalice, which many call the "Best RPG of the Year."

A bug where buying the available shares would result in the last traded stock price going down and the best ask order reseting has now been fixed. This bug also often resulted in a divide by zero error in the Order Book. This bug was discovered by user Riekert.

Rules regarding how limit orders are handled have been change. Previously, a limit order well beyond the current market would result with the automated market maker making new markets near the new limit order. For example, if the current ask order is 500 shares @ 50 DKP and a limit bid order of 600 shares @ 75 DKP is entered, the order would fill 500 shares @ 50 DKP and open a remaining order of 100 shares @ 75 DKP. The automated market maker would then make new markets around 75 DKP. Instead, now the automated market maker will adjust the current market and continue to fill the remaining 75 DKP order until it is either totally filled or the market has moved to 75 DKP.

Supreme Commander (PC) made its debut on the simExchange on Thursday and has risen a whopping 120% . The game is considered by many as the spiritual sequel of the highly acclaimed Total Annihilation (1997). Chris Taylor, the lead developer of TA, had left to start Gas Powered Games. The Total Annihilation brand was then lost somewhere as developer Cavedog's parent Humongous and publisher GT Interactive were purchased by Infogrames, which is now Atari, Inc.

Supreme Commander is highly anticipated among many RTS fans as the revival of the RTS genre. However, lacking a strong brand against recent powerhouse Age of Empires III and the upcoming Command & Conquer 3, the question remains if Supreme Commander will be noticed by the wider gaming community. The game was well received at E3 2006 with a Best of Show in the strategy genre, but this was largely overshadowed by the attention for the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3.

If the stock's trading is any indication of its potential success, Supreme Commander should be a strong contender. Supreme Commander opened Thursday evening at 35 DKP and rose to 39.42 DKP (forecasts 394,200 copies sold worldwide) by the end of Friday. In Saturday trading, the stock rose as high as 86.60 DKP (forecasts 866,000 copies sold worldwide) but came down to settle at 75.15 by Saturday's close. At the time of this writing, Supreme Commander is up 0.03 (+0.04%) with 55,436 shares traded since its IPO.

An exploit concerning price improvement when placing market orders has been fixed. This exploit allowed a user to buy 1 share of stock to reset the quantity of shares being bought at the market so that the user could keep selling shares without market impact (affecting the price of shares) and vice versa. This exploit was discovered by user Riekert.
