MSFT and NTDOY did not pay a higher nominal sum of dividend, and in terms of today's dollar value for the dividend payments it's not even close. So no the gap doesn't widen, the gap gets smaller when you properly asses the value of owning a company's stock. Did MSFT pay a higher dividend over a short period of time? Yes it has. But again you are setting up a system of valuation that hurts the assessment of Sony, because that's your intent. Your intent is not to properly asses the performance of the company.
Bottom line. would I invest in Sony stock? No I would not. Do I think you are purposely short changing Sony's performance? Yes I think you are. Am I trying to convince you to buy Sony stock? No way. You'd be much better off investing in MSFT. Are they competing in the same markets and should fairly be compared (like Verizon and AT&T, or UPS and FedEx)? No they are competing with only a small percent of their company's products. Would I invest in any company that competes with Sony for most of that companies revenue? Probably Not. Electronic companies, movie studios, music studios are all mostly bad investments, except for a few companies such as Aaple.
