Actually, Nintendo has around 8.87 billion US dollars in current assets as of June 30 with the current exchange rate but it doesn't change the point one bit that Pachter raised so good job for him being reasonable since those are few and far in between ... 

This. So, it's about US$1.8B less than in 2012. For comparison Sony has US$37.8B.

Actually it's probably better to look at a company's actual balance sheet. 

Sony has 16.67T (JPN yen x million) in assets. Keep in mind of course Sony owns a lot of shit, huge factories, buildings, a movie studio, etc. etc. 

Until you realize they also have 13.54T in liabilities.

Nintendo has 1.3T in assets, to a very, very low 136B in liabilities. They're a very efficient "little" company with virtually no debt.
