Revenue is more important

Sony: ¥8.215 trillion which is US$ 70 billion
Nintendo: ¥549.780 billion
Microsoft: US$ 93.58 billion

WTF! Seriously....

It really isn't.

Revenue alone tells you nothing.



Revenue alone doesn't tell you everything but it is critically important... because without it you literally have nothing. 

Depending on what your goal is, revenue is everthing. Revenue can become profits or used as a buffer if you want to invest and grow. 

If you are budgeting for a loss and your Rev is higher then expected... BAM!

Apple is only 290bio? Sony is not far away from Microsoft (total assets)



Fascinating figures.

Sony Total Debt:

2012 - $3.5 Billion
2013 - $2.1 Billion
2014 - $3.2 Billion
2015 - $18 Billion

Almost $15 billion seemingly out of nowhere. How?

Really. How much was Sony revenue from 2012 to 2015?

Now.... how much money did they actually make? Profit?

 

Revenue is vanity.

Profit is sanity.

Cash is king.



sigged for truth.

Oh wait...

I don't have room.

Woe is me

11/10 -ign

 

On a serious note, that's buisness 101, but since this a "video game tracking site" most people just see sales (which roughly translates into revenue)

Sony would be doing better if they ditched their phones.

Microsoft is much more successful than both of them for obvious reasons...MS owns phones, software, laptops, tablets, heavily used apps, and so on.


I'm impressed by Nintendo though. A huge company only has 100k in debt, yet most of us owe 5-20+k a year to go to college

Well yeah. That's kinda obvious.

But equally... if you have zero assets and your $1bn revenue generates a loss then you're bust.

Equally obvious.  However, if you you can raise 1bn in rev with no assets, you may be a divine being so, its all good lol.
