I never realized how big Samsung got over the years. This is insane.

Check there forecast for their next Q2.

Operating Income: 3.1 - 3.4 billion Euro (4.8 - 5.2 trillion Won / 3.9 - 4.27 billion USD)
Revenue: about 28 billion Euro (37 trillion Won / 37.12 billion USD)

Remember, this is just one QUARTER!

Sony reported a 270 million Euro profit for the past YEAR!

Those are some pretty big numbers, aren't they?

They really passed Sony. Not in a small way, they aren't neck to neck.

I have a Samsung TV, brilliant it is at an awesome price too. (price matched using John Lewis so got a 5 year warrentee).

But Samsung are an electronics company mainly, Sony have their hand in so many more things. What are the figures for Sony's Electronics department?

...

Hmm, wiki tells me that Samsung make Drillships and hold 80% of the world market share.

Hmm, pie.

What? They make Drillships!!!

Samsung electronics has revenue of $117bn compared to Sony having a revenue of $80bn, so Samsung are still 50% bigger by revenue even if just looking at Samsung's electronics (especially is you consider Sony own movie studios and record labels)
