Microsoft>Sony>Nintendo

I think that list is old... I know this article is old, but it's newer than that list.  Plus Nintendo has been printing money since than.  I'll see what else I can find.

the list is the most updated list from forbes, which is from nintendo/sonys/microsofts latest fiscal reports..

the list was formed APRIL 2009

I see the new one you posted.  According to that, Nintendo's Market Value is $41 billion to Sony's $17 billion.

market value has nothing to do with anything.. other than shares, nintendo has more share value, doesn't change the fact sony is a far larger company in profits, assets, revenue and size..

Just for future reference.

 And according to this article, Sony still plans on posting a loss for the full fiscal year through March:

 So I guess Sony isn't larger than Nintendo when it comes to profits or size.

I am gonna go with forbes over you. Sorry. Sony > Nintendo. FACT. Larger company, has more money, and makes more money. Nintendo does one thing. Sony does many(on a larger scale)

Sony has there first profitable quarter in quite some time and now they make more money than Nintendo...Interesting.  Sony's own 2010 projections still have them showing a net loss for the year.  In terms of Net Revenue, of course Sony is larger.  They sell way more products than Nintendo.  But if it cost you $2 to make $1 or $.50 to make $1...which would you chose.  And it is not fact that Sony is larger than Nintendo, it's how you want to interpret the numbers.  For the investment community purposes, Nintendo is the larger company.  For video game wars, Sony is.  I hope console wars can make you money in the real world.

So by your calculation I am personally a bigger company than Sony because I made a profit last year by working?
