If we are talking about really all companies, then no. Saudi Aramco is worth much more than Apple.
Excluding state-owned companies though, you would be correct.
Yeah, it always shocks me to think that Microsoft could buy exclusivity to COD, Fortnite, Madden and GTA but simply don't. I mean, really? Not even one of them? It makes no sense to me. They COULD be dominating in third party games but choose not to.

And to think Microsoft actually saved Apple.
In 1997, Microsoft invested @$150 million in Apple Inc. through preferential non-voting convertible stock (150,000 shares), partly as settlement to the long standing dispute between the two companies over the copying of certain features in Windows from Mac OS.
In order to continue to succeed they kept Apple alive. And now there 2 of the worlds biggest software giants in the world. Competition is good.

They have a cloud that rains money down on them.
Enemy said: Microsoft's net worth is not 750 billion. Net worth is the total assets minus liabilities.
The value of a company is subjective as well. |
We are going by market cap.
Which is share price multipled by number of shares.
Sure there are other aspects to consider, especially as share prices may not always represent a companies true worth, but for a quick comparison it is sufficient.

Exactly. They could kill of Playstation if they wanted to.
Hell they could open 20 game studios also if they wanted to and make more exclusives.
