How much is Nintendo worth, how much is Sony worth?
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
Edit again : nevermind , Nintendo prints money

^It depends on what you mean by "larger"? If you mean market cap, then yes:

By market cap, yes. (Number of shares * share price, basically the dollar value of the company were someone to buy every share)
By physical size, no. It clearly has lower revenue, lower employee count, fewer premises.
But it is far more profitable than Sony and others, so it is worth more to shareholders as an enterprise.
I believe Nintendo has the highest profit-to-employee ratio in the world of significantly sized companies. It is extremely well run.
