Damn, look at Sony's assets and revenue!


Not too be a negative bee, but their revenue dropped $8.29B from 2011, and is not much above 2009 and 2010...

They really have too many employees (IMO), they need to streamline.

Wow, big loss for Sony last year. Will this year be better?

Surprised to see Sony's market value so near to Nintendo's, actually.


Sony havent made a profit for 5 years.  But they will (should) break that cycle this time on the back of sell offs and lay offs.

Depends on R&D for PS4 for me. If there is a profit, it will be very small.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

read the figure you put.....

2011 revenue($) according to that site: $86.65B <-> 2012 revenue($) according to that site: $78.36B... = $8.29B?

On another note, we need a fucking single quote button on VGC.

"Um den Vertrieb der Hanafuda-Karten im Ausland zu ermöglichen, gründete Sekiryo Yamauchi im Jahr 1947 eine neue Gesellschaft, die Marufuku Co. Ltd (丸福), die 1951 in Karuta Nintendo Co. Ltd. umbenannt wurde."

Rough translation: "To enable the distribution of the Hanafuda playing cards abroad, Sekiryo Yamauchi founded a new corporation/company (not entirely sure on this one) named Marufuku Co. Ltd (丸福) in 1947 which later was renamed "Karuta Nintendo Co. Ltd.".

lol. oops. I read it wrong.  I thought you said revenue was $8.29bn.  silly me.


That'd be incredibly sad and yet incredibly funny if it was that low.

They made game cards or something before they made games. Nokia made rubber boots before they made phones.

Interesting, the english wiki says nothing of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#As_a_card_company_.281889.E2.80.931956.29

I didn't know Nintendo re-made themselves in 1947. I thought they had been the same company since 1889.
