Only due to some wild presumption that Nintendo will jump into China and then be successful. Plus as we all know, investors and bankers tend to know nothing when it comes to the gaming market.

Sony has the assets the define the future with so many entertainment options they can offer for a customer choosing their hardware/service. But, for nintendo they have only the Gaming which might be in future have so much competiton from Mobiles/Tablets etc., and give a trouble to Nintendo but for sony they have so many ways and already they are beginning future of Gaming with Streaming service. So, I think sony is going with future proof plans right now and they can be back on top due to the diversity of their assets in our daily life needs.

ding ding ding.  Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have access to China via Hong Kong for like forever.  Going to mainline China means that they would need to partner with a local Chinese gaming company (or what ever equivelent), have no more than 20% of what ever creation is made and will be force to dispel trade secrets...Something I see companies are chomping at the bit to do.  China does have some good development studios from big gaming companies but nothing on the scale of hardware.

Sony's decline as of late still stems from their earnings revision back in November when they halved their operating income from 40b yen to 20b yen.

Couldn't agree with you more. They are doing a fantastic job with the PlayStation brand (aside from Vita) and PlayStation Now looks to be a fantastic service for the future. Turning PlayStation into a service really is going to help Sony future proof their IP. And they also seem to be further uniting their product ecosystem, which will definitely increase sales.

Nintendo is just business as usual, very conservative as always, but you never know what they might do next.

So why aren't you shorting their shares? You'll make a killing if you're right.

Nintendo should just buy Sony and be done with it.

They do have the money to buy at least 51% of the company.

It would be funny, just to see the epic meltdowns by all the Sony fanbots. X'D

then nintendo unique quality will be gone if they mix with Sony ecosystem. Sony born with different ideas and innovating many things with their R & D and mostly known for making great hardwars in power and looks with quality. They have tried to help Nintendo with their hardware but thy refused to accept that, so Playstation born ouf of it to innovate the game with the technology and still sony doing it but Nintendo playing with same Cheap and sufficient hardware to create games with their IPs compared to competitors.

Leapfrog? You must not have kids. It's a company that makes kid products such as learning to read and math books. Also they have a tablet device like the 3ds but plays all educational crap.
