I heard that the entire Ford brand outsold the Toyota Corolla. Great job Ford.

kowenicki; actually, Sony is bigger in practically every measure except sheer profit. Twice the amount of employees, more equity and more assets. Remember how much more than the Playstation they make, they're a Hi-Fi company first and foremost.

I have no idea what the number of employees has to do with it.. but here are the three main measures

Market cap ( the real true measure )

Microsoft $216 billion

Sony $22.77 billion

Microsoft 10 times bigger in real measurable size

Revenue

Microsoft $61.17 billion

Sony $82.22 billion

Profit

Microsoft $16 billion

Sony $1 billion LOSS

 

So you are right on turnover... worryingly they can turnover $82 billion dollars and still make a loss.  So unless they can cut costs big time all over the place any price aggression in any market (TV, Phones or Gaming) seems fool hardy.

 

However, MS is 10 times bigger than MS and could almost buy up Sony from 1 years profits...  Sony as we know made a loss.

MS can buy itself cofirmed
