Really, the numbers I used WERE for the 2006 FISCAL year, which ended in march 2007, but you're right that is SO long ago they shouldn't even be considered valid any longer. I didn't realize that you travelled to 2008 and brought the 2007 numbers back with you. Post any of this data you have with a source if you don't mind.

@Lingyis, sorry I can't find the data I'm looking for. I'm at work and that was all I can find at the moment, I know I didn't prove my point, just showing different figures that I had at my disposal.

Forbes - Global top 2000 list its current at 3/29/2007(if this isn't good enough then to hell with it), and it includes market value, which is what some like to use, and it's got assets, which is what I was looking for, it'll take me longer to find liabilities, then I can figure assets - liabilities = NET worth<-- that's what I was getting...

Rank

CompanyCountrySales ($bil)Profits ($bil)Assets ($bil)Market Vaue ($bil)
164 SonyJapan 63.62 1.05 88.75 52.14
695 NintendoJapan 4.33 0.84 9.79 34.00

 

EDIT: Do you know where to look for total company liabilities, I have some software at work that I can pull these type of reports for customers for a fee.... maybe I should talk someone into getting full reports on Nintendo and Sony, then I can view them too ;) .... I don't think it'd be a good idea to pull them for myself, they'd probably frown upon it, heh.


don't worry about it.  i mean, i'm gonna be looking at market cap anyway, since it is the simplest and likely the least controversial of all measures (haha).  i'm sure net worth = assets - libabilities for Sony would still be like 5 times greater than nintendo.  

i'll look these up for completeness' sake.  plus put up some other numbers because... they're just so damn interesting. 



the Wii is an epidemic.
