The only thing which really matters is profit. Revenue, number of studios, product range etc are a means to the end which is profit and nothing more.

In US dollars

Microsft = 255.75 billion dollars

Sony = 38.55 billion dollars

Nintendo =  Unspecified but it's about, 125 billion dollars

in terms of what they sell, Nintendo is not all videogames. Nintendo owns everything Pokemon ( movies included, t-shirts, toys )

in terms of profit, as a company Microsfot has more Cash Flow than Sony is worth. well it's actually about 30 billion dollars of cash

but that can basically be called profit, which is why Microsoft is worth soo much

Yep, exactly. Nintendo is what many would call a new age company, the value adder they have is in the design work and creativity and they have shed pretty much all non essential business elements. They like Apple are paragons to the ideal of slimline and highly profitable/flexible companies. Comparing the number of employees is useless for companies which outsource all of their manufacturing for instance, I think in the TV space Vizio is one such company.
