Oh so after all... Nintendo, once again... was right. No wonder Miyamoto is considered to be the best game designer. And of course, Nintendo the best Video game company ever.

No, its not.

To you, and anyone else who might walk this earth with the notion that there is or ever has been a greater videogame company than Nintendo, go check out the all times sales chart right here on VGChartz. Check the top 10, or top 20 or some such. If you are too lazy or shortsighted to realize that virtually every major innovation in the current videogame industry was pioneered by Nintendo, then at least seeing the list of the most iconic and best selling videogames should open your eyes.
There comes a time when claiming 'your opinion' just has to yield to facts. And the facts are that no matter which way you look at it, Nintendo is the greatest videogame company ever.

Sales doesnt prove they are the best. But if you still want to look at sales how about the fact Sony sold most consoles in last 15 years????
And i fail to see how Nintendo is the greatest when Sony and MS can buy that small company :)

Seriously?......

Yeah, I think he is serious ... but he is also wrong.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Yamauchi family holds a controlling share of Nintendo, Microsoft might be able to buy Nintendo because Microsoft's market cap is (roughly) 5 times Nintendo's and the purchase of Nintendo would represent three years of Microsoft's profit; they don't have the cash on hand, but their profits would enable them to get a bond sold to purchase Nintendo.
Sony (in contrast) has a market cap of (roughly) 80% of Nintendo, they are an unprofitable company, and Nintendo's market cap represents close to 100 years of Sony's recent profitable years.
It will be interesting to watch what happens over the next couple of years though, if Nintendo can really have two living platforms with over 100 Million users their Market Cap and profits could be over half of Microsoft's ...
