Stock markets... are weird.

PSN alone makes more money than All of Nintendo does.

Yet Nintendo stock is higher? why?

There's lot more to it. Assets the company has, including properties, debt, ventures, and IPs. Sony can make more and be worth less, if that makes any sense.

Why does the US stock exchange say otherwise?

Bad choice for article as it says the opposite.

Sony beats Nintendo in assets/debt too. And by that I mean their assets - debt is higher than Nintendo's, almost double in fact.

Seems to me that either Sony is undervalued, Nintendo overvalued or both. Anybody that invested in Nintendo pre-Switch launch should have made a very nice profit though!

Stockholders don't look at just the current numbers, in fact, current numbers are nigh irrelevant if the future prospects can make up for it. If stock holders believe Nintendo has more potential for future profits than Nintendo, then they'll value Nintendo's stock higher. (or rather, people buying the stock will pay more for it)

The article specifically states that it's behind Sony.

ffs. it is not hard to check for yourself.

Yes, forgot that the point of a thread is to use outdated articles as a source and make people google for the correct source themselves. My fault.

Not really, future for Nintendo and Switch looks really bright, and that effects on stocks.

Revenue and profit are different things, Nintendo made more profit last FY than hole Sony.

Nintendo doesn't have any debts.

or just accept the facts as they are stated all over the public domain and stop trying to discredit a thread becaaue you dont like the message.

Better for you to stop the assumptions.

A thread quoting an article that says the opposite of the thread title is bad no matter what the content is. Fixing this thread is as easy as removing the article.

Get your morning coffee and grunt at someone else.

The original article contradicted the title of the thread.  The idea that it shouldn't be changed simply because people can go look it up themselves is so ridiculous that it's laughable.
