Shocking reversal from just a year ago, were Apple was nearing 1 trillion. Google (or Alphabet its parent company) has officially past Apple's market capital, and if we talk after hours, Google is worth about 570 billion, while Apple would be worth 530 billion (note that the value's below aren't updated yet, as google stocks are stupid and don't update till the next trading day, though google is now ahead.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

why shouldnt they? I dont own anything Apple related since like 5 years now, only bought an Ipod touch once which broke after a week falling off from my desk only ounce.
Google things on the other hand i am using it every day. If anything it shows that Apple stocks are over-valued and aiming for a huge crash.



It won't even take 3 months for Apple to win that back haha.



Wow, incredible! Come on, nobody saw this coming eventually?



That's expected. I mean, even apple fans probably use some Google products. The thing is everywhere!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

We all knew Google would one day own the world



About darn time!



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Google has their fingers in many pies so I wouldn't be surprised to see them dominating in the coming years. Apple on the other hand sooner or later will weaken their hold on mobiles because it can't keep up with the full brunt of Android and it's partners ...
