Following the release of Pokémon Go Nintendo's shares went skyrocketed, surpassing Sony. After reporting its first-quarter results this week Nintendo issued a press release stated that the impact of Pokémon Go will be "limited" and wouldn't be revising their annual profit forecast. 

In an official statement Nintendo stated that:

"The Company owns 32% of the voting power of The Pokémon Company. The Pokémon Company is the Company’s affiliated company, accounted for by using the equity method. Because of this accounting scheme, the income reflected on the Company’s consolidated business results is limited."

Following the release of this information shares fell 18%, making this the biggest drop in the company's shares since 1990.

Regardless Nintendo is still rising high since the release of Pokémon Go, with shares doubling since the application was released at the beginning of July.
