ow wow.. its like worth nothing... ~400 million dollar?I thought Viao was worth more than that.. for example with the MS stuff going on Bloomberg estimates that the Xbox division is worth 23 billion dollar.. surely Viao should be worth more then ~400 million

The entirity of Sony is worth 19 billion. Xbox is worth more than All of Sony.  Not just more than Playstation. Just shows the business side of things MS does well.

I doubt the Xbox division is worth $23bn! Seems too high. Maybe the whole devices division is worth that much? 

Bloomberg had an article about investors wanting breaking up MS from that article:

Xbox, which started selling the new Xbox One console in November, may be worth about $23 billion on its own, based on Nintendo Co. (7974)’s price-sales ratio, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

do believe that Bloomberg know what they are talking about as they compare the value against nintendo..

If you look at it like that, then playstation must be worth double the market cap of sony?

Maybe the $23bn figure is the value of all of the Xbox related stuff including all the game studios MS owns, plus all the assests of the Xbox business. Although I still think that value is way too high.
