Zynga Inc (NASDAQ:ZNGA) shares were trading at $8.33 while reporting down 3.70% from yesterdays close. The 15 analysts offering 12-month price forecasts for Zynga Inc have a median target of 13.00, with a high estimate of 17.00 and a low estimate of 7.00. The median estimate represents a +56.06% increase from the last price of 8.33. The current consensus among 19 polled investment analysts is to Hold stock in Zynga Inc. This rating has held steady since May, when it was unchanged from a Holdrating. Analyst forecasts for current quarter earnings per share estimate are $0.06. Analyst forecasts for current quarter sales estimate are share are $344.5M

 

Yoshikazu Tanaka, Japan’s youngest billionaire and founder of Gree Inc. (3632), lost $702 million today after his social-gaming company plunged by the daily limit in Tokyo on concerns one of its sales methods may be illegal.

Japan’s second-biggest operator of social games fell 500 yen, or 23 percent, to 1,651 yen, the biggest drop since its December 2008 listing, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That wiped out 56.1 billion yen ($702 million) from the value of the 35-year-old Tanaka’s shareholding, based on calculations by Bloomberg.

Gree led drops among Japanese game-related companies. The Consumer Affairs Agency is considering whether a sales method called “complete gacha” violates the law, Kazuyuki Katagiri, a section chief at the agency, said by phone today. The Yomiuri newspaper said May 5 the agency will ask social-network game operators to stop using the system because it prompts customers to pay excessive fees.

“The companies may need to change their business models,” Masamitsu Ohki, a fund manager at Stats Investment Management Co., a Tokyo-based hedge fund, said by phone. “Companies shouldn’t rush to expand, as the very existence of social games is being questioned and that would deter some investors.”

Tanaka was the youngest billionaire in Japan with an estimated fortune of $3.5 billion, Forbes magazine said in March. His 48.18 percent stake in Gree is worth $2.32 billion after today’s rout.

My wife has been playing this game lately:

 

Draw Something Loses 5M Users a Month After Zynga Purchase

 

We may be seeing the beginnings of a lesson as to why it’s not always the best idea to buy your competition outright. Mobile giant Zynga’s game development philosophy has always been, “If you can’ beat ‘em, buy ‘em,” followed by the less welcome “If you can’t buy ‘em, clone ‘em.”

 

In short, for nearly every game that hits number one on the mobile charts, Zynga will try to buy that company, and if they can’t, they’ll just make an eerily similar version of the game themselves. Most recently, Draw Something developer OMGPOP agreed to a Zynga takeover for the cool sum of $200M. Draw Something was exploding in popularity, and the purchase seemed like a good bet.

 

But now the move might seem equivalent to a company buying huge amounts of stock in Pogs or Members Only jackets without realizing that some things that are popular are merely fads. When you buy a company based on one specific success rather than a string of proven titles, you’re setting yourself up for potential disaster.

Perhaps you are correct Jock-e,

 

Or perhaps not.  Consider this, a company like OMGPOP has to be good for more games equivelent or better than draw this.  Just imagine how the investment world would or will react with this taking place!

Got some of those cheap shares yesterday, amazing how far this has gone down since it was at $13, hopefully the great news starts to sink in the PPS soon!  Your entry is still not bad long term.
