But how many has that much more potential to grow?I havent been following that closely how well the other divisions of Sony are fairing, but I dont remember them having an expected explosive growth ahead of them like the PS4 and the Switch had/are planned to have.

And as you said, stock market is basically speculation.Speculation about the future.If they expect that the Switch will grow rapidly and in big jumps, and if that growth is a "given", they will value that company more, because thats easy money.If Sony is less inclined to do the same, and its more of a long investment or whatever, people will be less interested to invest.

Dont get me wrong, I believe that Nintendo stock is a bit of an illusion now, given that investors think that Nintendo will enter the chinese market(because of they having that MOBA game on the Switch) and succeed, but for the most part its because it seems that the Switch is on track to duplicate ,or come really close, the success of the Wii.And that thing printed money.

Well, all of them have potential, if Sony will make wonders on them or not is another subject of course.

I'm happy both Nintendo and Sony is doing fine on stock market, it's just that I don't put much value on stock market. I know they speculate in future profitability, but when they buy and sell those shares daily how the potential in 5 years are really important?

I think it really depends on how much they think will profit.If buying 10 dollars a share today and in 2 years that same shares will be worth 3,4 or even 5 times more, I think they are willing to wait that long.Of course that they constantly buy and sell stocks, but most investors most likely invest in multiple companies at once, and probably has short term plans for some, and long term plans for others.But Im no specialist on how the market works and when is the right time to buy stocks, so thats as far as my guesses go
