Your point being????

Sony has assetts valued at around $150 billion.


Assets are considered when investors value a stock's market cap, investors just don't believe in Sony and they are also carrying tons of debt which you did not mention.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It's quite impressive how big Nintendo is for a company that pretty much exclusively does games.

That is why "hardcore" gamers want them to go third party. In the process, Nintendo loses its hardware-software value proposition. Oh, also so those gamers can buy a year old Nintendo games for $5 on steam. It is deviously genius for people with degrading neuron count. 



This is quite interesting. A doomed games only company is worth more than a corporate conglomerate that does gaming. How many buildings does Sony have left to sell in order to hide losses?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Enjoy your financial successes while we enjoy games (for gamers which matters). Like it will make the companies suddenly come with more exclusives, or radical price drops or something that matters to a gamer.

This speaks loud and clear at how Sony should drop from the hardware race and go third party.

LOL.   Good one (and yes I saw the sarcasm / humor in this).

This is cool and all but it's the market cap as of may 2013.

I know they have problems but they always can sell a bulding or two and get back on top.

They sold 2 buildings last year.   Not only does that not count toward the market capitalization, it actually hurts it as investors will sell stock when a company announces they have to sell a building for cash.

 

Also, your Forbes data is listed as May 2013.
