Nope. This is just as misinfromed as thinking Sony should be worth more than Nintendo due to more assets.

Care to elaborate how this is misinformed?

Easy. Sony gets loads of money (and profit) from non-PS businesses.

Here's Sony's results per segment for the 12 months ending on march 30th:

As you can see, Sony had higher operating income from financial services (primarily life insurance), than gaming, and they also had sizeable profits from Music, Home Entertainment & Sound (TVs and speakers et.al) and Imaging Products and Solutions (cameras and lenses and stuff like that).

The narrative that the only segment of Sony currently doing well is Playstation is quite wrong. It is one of the best performing, and in the future might become the best performing segment, but still not the only one making money.
