According to Yahoo finance, Apple has 6 month average current assets of $75 billion, http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=aapl&ql=1 Microsoft has 6 month average current assets of $107 billion, http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=msft&ql=1 Sony has 12 month average current assets of $41 billion http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=SNE&annual And... according to Nintendo's Annual report, they have current assets of less than $12.7 billion http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/annual1303e.pdf (page 24) And total assets of $15.4 billion. In other words, Microsoft could buy Nintendo 6 times with just current assets. What's your point? |
Firstly I think the OP was simply stating the facts for interests sake, not supposing to wow us.
Secondly:
Apple 80000 staff
MS 120000 staff
Sony 145000 staff
Nintendo 7000 staff
Nintendo is and always has been a much smaller company who simply has much smaller revenue potential.
Having said that they have more than occasionally been more profitable than all of Sony and despite poor financials in the last couple of years have historically (and cumulatively) far greater net profit than either Sony's gaming division or the Xbox division, by a good margin.
