Odd and unexpected, but I guess that's in the same case as most deaths. Rest in peace.

This world is heartless

I wouldn't say the world is heartless. That is such a miniscule drop i doubt it reflects anything serious.

I wouldn't say the world is heartless. That is such a miniscule drop i doubt it reflects anything serious.

The drop isn't too big or small. But if you look at the 5 day history, there is a serious reflection of the days past according to Iwata's health and death.

Iwata's actual death day - Normal Trend
Two Days After - Major drop from Japanese buyers in Kyoto (Nintendo headquarters) and Tokyo
Today/Today (since Japan is ahead date and timewise than western countries) - Large media over his death and more Bears begin to sell.

That totals to a -4% which is just noticeable enough to be associated with Iwata's death.


Rest in Peace Iwata
