I think there is some sarcasm in his remarks.

Is the company healthy or in a good position? Nothing dire or anything like that |
Nothing dire. Still losing money. Not exactly healthy. Apparently nothing concerning enough to fire Iwata over though, because he's been voted back again.

that would be awesome!

Basically yes, their analysis is not based on assets or anything of the sort. I think if people really want to know what the Xbox division is worth then MS should release thorough, clear and transparent financials for Xbox division alone. |
For comparison, by Nintendo's PSR multiple Bloomberg estimated the Xbox division was worth $17 billion less than seven months earlier.
It seems to be based on relative current market perfomance (essentially, stock trades n' stuff), but I don't know how they're isolating Xbox from the rest of MS to even do the calculation... but it's not like I'm an afficionado. In general it just seems like there are a lot of variable factors involved in the estimation method and we can't really know without MS just telling us.

It is, isn't it?
Buy the PlayStation division from Sony if they go under (very unlikely) and have the number one console and handheld in the market.
WiiU and PSVita for the WIN.

Yes, yes it is. /s
| mii-gamer said: Can someone explain to me in simplistic terms what happened to the rest of the cash? |
Most of it is gone because Yen has lost value against dollar and Nintendo make financials in Yen, while we discussing Dollar (why we ever do that). In Yen Nintendo still has lost money, but not so much against 2012, more against 2011 and 2010. Well, the answer to that is 3DS and WiiU.
| Baalzamon said: For those looking for the in between numbers, here you go (in Yen, with some rounding done for my calculations):
The company really isn't in a bad position. The main reason their cash is so much lower in US dollars is nothing other than the exchange rate. |
This really should be put into the OP.
