Several people seem to think that winning or losing in the console race is a direct indicator of corporate health and the security of that company's future.

Below is a list of a few current (end of 2015) aspects of each that company that should shed more light on exactly how successful or in danger they are.  Unfortunately, this will compare the entire companies rather than just their game segments but for the sake of a company being solvent, it's relevant.

 

Company	Nintendo*	Sony*	Microsoft
Cash and Short Term Investments	$7.6 Billion	$15.7 Billion	$96.5 Billion
Total Assets	$11.3 Billion	$132.0 Billion	$176.2 Billion
Total Liabilities	$1.5 Billion	$107.6 Billion	$96.1 Billion
Total Debt	$103,000	$18 Billion	$7.5 Billion

* - All figures converted from Japanese Yen to USD.

 

103,000$  debt. Nintendo really knows how to manage money.

 

haha what's crazy to think is that many individuals, like college grads, have more debt than a billion dollar company like Nintendo. pretty bizarre.
