Nintendo - 8,390bn yen in 2007
Microsoft - about 78mld$ worth in 2009
Sony - 6,540bn yen in 2007(currently 230bn $)

Ninendo is the 2nd biggest japanese company that was only beaten by Toyota while whole sony didn't even make it to top 10 in 2007. remind me if i'm wrong but wasn't sony constantly in the red for the past 2 years while nintendo was making more profit in each quarter than SCE did on ps2 in its 10 year lifespan COMBINED.

That is the case with companies that have large assets, when they lose, the lose big, but they will never go bust and when they start winning again, they win big!

The recession has done alot of damage to Sony, but they expect to take damage, it will be a huge success for Sony if they can take less damage because it means that they will be in a better position when the world economy recovers!

Nintendo are in a much more precarious position because while they are flying high now, their company is very small in terms of assets and is therefore less stable, they could make huge profits one year and huge losses the next!
