Nah. It's not silly at all. Well good enough as a response to the post is was made for. And WTF is wrong with using revenue as a measure? I realize that there are other metrics to use, but it's kind of an important one. You mention Intel. Sony had higher revenue than Intel in 2015. Feel free to make a proper rankings table if you have the time/inclination. I was making a quick response on VGC.

Yeah, it is actually.  Revenue alone means jack.  For example, a negative profit margin (as 'enjoyed' by many Japanese tech companies for many years) and high revenue will actually shrink your company.

Anyhow, I dont need to go off and make a better list... a well respected and globally quoted/reported list already exists.  You'll find Sony at 192, would have been top 20 easily not too long ago.

Sony needs less money than Microsoft to do the same thing, this is something you wont see in your statistics
