Still, loans will become more expensive for them as well, so they surely will notice it.

In that respect, I think only Sony would get hurt. I don't think Microsoft or Nintendo take loans (Microsoft has huge cash reserves, Nintendo is very fiscally conservative and just doesn't spend much money).

 

Most companies take loans, irrespective of their capital, because it can be cheaper than using your own money.

 

How can that be? Are you saying the banks give away money to these companies?

I've never seen Microsoft or Nintendo in debt. I remember talk about the possibility of Microsoft going into a small amoutn of debt to buy Yahoo, but that was it (and it ended up not happening).
