Not sure if this was already posted, but earlier this week Activision Blizzard passed Nintendo in Market Cap. Currently Activision Blizzard has a market cap of 15,89 billion, while Nintendo sits at 14,01 billion.

It's not the first game company to pass Nintendo though, earlier this year Electronics Arts flew by and now sits at 17,10 billion.

What does this mean for Nintendo? At first sight not much, stock value is always just a value that can completely change overnight. However it is interesting to note that in the eyes of many(including me) Nintendo still hold the most valuable franchise library in the bussiness. More importantly they are a hardware manufacturer to boot, and for two game company's to now have passed them raises interesting questions. At the very least it raises the question if Nintendo should release their software on more platforms, since the are clearly missing out on a lot of sales by keeping their games exclusive to limited platforms.

So what do you guys think, will this finally be a wake up call to investors and Nintendo?
