I assume you're getting those numbers from Yahoo Finance.

They don't make sense. I'm assuming their figures are wrong because of incorrect input of data somewhere along the line.

http://ycharts.com/companies/NTDOY/enterprise_value - current enterprise value $7.974 billion

http://www.infinancials.com/en/financial%20ratio,Nintendo%20Co%20Ltd,90524FJ.html - current enterprise value $8.123 billion

Enterprise Value = Market Cap + Debt - Cash. Nintendo's Debt is about zero, and it's Cash (according to Yahoo Finance) is about $10.74 billion...

https://www.google.com/finance?q=ntdoy&ei=EWnkUujXD4XBkAXiyAE - Its Market Cap is $18.54 billion according to google. That puts its Enterprise Value at $7.8 billion.

I assume that what's happening is Yahoo Finance is working only on shares available outside of Japan, which is limited, as I understand it. And this is resulting in it calculating a market cap of $2 billion, rather than $18.54 billion.

Yeah, Yahoo must have something wrong.

I find it funny no one seems to notice Aielyn post. No one has anything to say about his post? He seems like a rather knowledgable guy and his explanation is probably true.

That said, Microsoft did try to buy Nintendo once but the deal fell apart. Apple probably has the money. They probably have money to buy all our houses and put us into slavery for the rest of our lives too. But that doesn't mean they are going to spend it on that!

Nintendo would seppuku itself before being purchased by another company.


I agree.

Didn't M$ offer to buy Nintendo for $25 billion more than a decade ago?

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Apple could buy Nintendo with what they leave as tip after paying a coffee

I agree, you can probably find enough cash between the couch cushions in the lobby at Apple HQ in Cupertino!


I think that applies to any company. Apple could probably purchase islands and create its own currency if it felt like it



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

That's the number that's been thrown about, I don't know how accurate it is. That's a ton of money though, considering MS paid no where near that much for Skype + Nokia (phone division) combined.
