What I meant is dropping against the dollar, i.e. going from 110 to 89, but yeah I guess rising would be the correct term, I stand correct.

 

And you cannot guarantee anything in this recession, Nintendo and Toyota might go bankrupt as well, Nintendo could probably avoid it by raising the Wii price though seeing as how well it is selling, but Toyota is already feeling the effects of this economy.

 

Not even comparable. Sony carries $12 billion in debt. Nintendo is rich in surplus cash. Sony will have 165,000 employees to cut paychecks to. Nintendo has 3700 employees to pay. Nintendo could stop selling product today and could still probably operate for several years without making changes.

 

Definitely comparable, both Japanese companies who are affected by the rising of the Yen, Sony is in debt? That's news to me, last I heard they had enough cash reserve to operate for a few more years. I'm not suggesting Nintendo is not in a better position, obviously they are, but the economy can hit them, I don't think you should be so gullible to think that they'd be immune to it.
