Apple I would imagine, by quite some way. they have a more diverse range of products that sell equally as well as any of Nintys



you can either look up the financial numbers, or if you are lazy you can go to wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo

either way highwaystar is right and Apple makes more. Not a ton more, but Nintendo couldn't reach that level of profits unless they were producing way more Wii and DS units.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Believe me, lots.

Do you know the only thing Yamauchi made Iwata promisse when replacing him? Never ask for a loan ;)

All Nintendo's investments are self supported. I don't know any other company that works like that (although I believe it exists).

apple, i would think. o_O

they have the iphone



Interesting. Not looking at the hardware, I am sure Apple makes more money on, software wise, Nintendo is making a killing out of their software.

As stated above, Apple makes more.

For the number of employees and revenue, Nintendo is more profitable. And Nintendo is in a much better financial position in terms of cash and debt. Nintendo is, by many metrics, the best run company in the world.
