No, every company should go into bankruptcy if their position is unsustainable. Except the Idiot US Government doesn't understand that.

Even if SOny's gaming division was about to be bankrupt wouldn't the other divisions help them out?

nintendo has more cash reserves than sony.

That is true only if you take the gaming division by itself. Im surprise so much person think Nintendo is bigger than Sony.

no, that is the case for taking nintendo against all of sony. sony may have more invested in actual land (property) and factories. But even that i am not sure would outweigh the cash reserves of nintendo. I'm suprised at how many people do not realise nintedo is a fiscally responsible company that does not sell equiptment at a loss.

I think that list is old... I know this article is old, but it's newer than that list.  Plus Nintendo has been printing money since than.  I'll see what else I can find.

Damn I thought Ninty would have had Sony beat. What-ever makes me happy! :D
