Electronic Arts Market value: 16 Billion - http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/18/biz_07forbes2000_The-Global-2000_MktVal_6.html Microsoft Market Value: 275 Billion - http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/18/biz_07forbes2000_The-Global-2000_MktVal.html Sony: 52 Billion - http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/18/biz_07forbes2000_The-Global-2000_MktVal_2.html Nintendo: 34 Billion - http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/18/biz_07forbes2000_The-Global-2000_MktVal_3.html |
MArket value is always in flux, so it's better to measure net turnover and profit in comparison to the company's relative size and resources spent.
