So far for company donations

Nintendo - 300 million yen

Sega - 200 million yen

Namco - 100 million yen

Sony - 300 million yen

MS is apparently donating $2 million US based on this article: http://segmentnext.com/2011/03/14/microsoft-japan-support-relief-efforts/

I don't know the conversion rate.

Here's a little excerpt from an Engadget article that lists some contributions from Japanese companies towards the help effort:

"As a tech publication, we're obviously focused on the impact recent events will have on Japan's vast consumer electronics industry -- an industry that has responded with millions of dollars in cash, equipment and services to help with the relief effort. Thus far, Canon, Panasonic, and Sony have each pledged ¥300 million ($3.67 million) in donations. Sony is also matching employee contributions as will Mitsubishi who's donating a whopping ¥500 million ($6.1 million) in aid. On the equipment side, Sony is donating some 30,000 radios to relief efforts while Panasonic is providing 10,000 radios, 10,000 flashlights, and 500,000 batteries. NEC, Kyocera, and Epson are each donating ¥100 million in funds, computers, and telecoms and IT equipment."

The rest of the article isn't relevant to the aid effort but I'll include the source link below anyways.

I think that 2mil is roughly 163mil Yen
