180,500 (as of March 2008)

microsoft - 89,809 in 105 countries (2008)

nintendo - Employees 3,768 (2008)

even with the big profits must money ends up in ejecutives and other things.

other way janitors would be earning thousands a year.

instead of the few hundreds they get monthly.

What Kasz216 said.

Also, the profit is usually spent on the following things:

- Shareholder dividends
- Investment in R&D; this means more or better games and hardware
- Put in the bank (how do you think they got 1 trillion yen in the first place)
- Mergers and acquisitions (recent example: Monolith)
- Other miscellaneous capital spending like new offices

It's not generally just given to executives, though bonuses are part of that.
