If it was Microsoft or Nintendo being hacked would it be as bad?

I'm sure MS doesn't run an unupdated linux server with no firewall 

ya, microsoft runs windows server 2011 with a firewall... which means its probably easy to hack as its a windows firewall. only thing saving it is there are so few people running windows servers few have experience hacking them.

Curious thing: MS runs Windows on its servers, but Akamai site mirroring, caching, load balancing, DDoS protection and other services, that MS hires regularly, run on Linux and other OS' (currently they use often Citrix machines using Linux as host OS and Xen virtual-machine monitor, on which many OS', including Windows, can run as guests).
