I will assume you mean Nintendo lol. PS4 should outsell the Wii U in a matter of months

I said clear: SONY.

Lol! I think you got more chance of Nintendo going thirdparty than ever Sony. Sony are huge compared to nintendo and not just a games company. Sony Assetts are valued at $150 billion.

I said clear: Nintendo


Wow relax dude.  Don't get so damn emotional.  Besides I think it was mostly a jab (humor) back and those people saying that Nintendo will go 3rd party when in reality they are still doing well.

Also, Sony is listed as a conglomerate, much like a Samsung.  Not the Sony they used to be though.

I know they have problems but they always can sell a bulding or two and get back on top.

They sold 2 buildings last year.   Not only does that not count toward the market capitalization, it actually hurts it as investors will sell stock when a company announces they have to sell a building for cash.

 

Also, your Forbes data is listed as May 2013.

That forbes article is from Ashadian!

Anyway I know selling buildings is really bad for a company. I heard they did it to hide a 5 year streak of losses. I was being sarcastic xD.

Does this mean that Nintendo is more worth with their one gaming Division than Sony with all his Divisions like TV's, Blu-Ray, Movies, Smartphones and PlayStation combined? WOW!!!

Wow. Some people are really venting in this thread.

Hate to spoil the party guys, but Playstation won't be going anywhere for quite a few years.

Activion has a market cap of about $12.69 billion.

So between Sony and EA.

I said clear: Nintendo

Instead of looking into the total assets of both companies to see their "value" and their financial independence, you should first look to the equity which is basically the money they have in the bank minus debt.

Sony has $28.5 billion. (as of March 31, 2013)

Nintendo has $10.5 billion. (as of March 31, 2013)

So for a company that's 11 times bigger than Nintendo in terms of assets, it only has less than 3 time the equity, which is not really healthy and hence its low market value.
