Just thought this data was very eye opening when comparing the last fiscal year. 18% profit margin is just unreal. Sony's goal for 2008 is to reach 5% profitability. For comparison, Apple is at 10% profitability. 

I can't image how one sided this would look if you compared Sony's gaming division to Ninetendo.  

Nintendo:

Sony:

3,257 Nintendo employees. 162,800 Sony employees. Wow.

Yeah, it's unreal. Here are some more stats:

Fortune points out that each of Nintendo's 3,400 employees generates a staggering $2.5 million. How does that compare with other corporate juggernauts? Microsoft's employees generated $624,000 each last year, while Google's generated $994,000 each – still less than half of Nintendo's employees. On a profit scale, Nintendo's total income was almost $1.5 billion, or $442,000 per employee, last year, compared with Microsoft's $177,000 and Google's $288,000. It's astounding no matter how you look at it.

Don't even know how to read it beside the employee number
