What if Blu-ray, PS3 and PSP died. Would Sony survive?

no it isn't. Nintendo's stock passed Sony number for just a moment.

Nintendo is not worth more than all the divisions of Sony throughout the world.

I would potentially argue that Nintendo is worth more than Sony ...

Sony has high revenues but they also have very high costs so their profits stay reasonably low on the whole; this results in a very low profit per-share ratio and slow growth rates.

Nintendo (on the other hand) has lower revenues and dramatically lower costs which means they have higher profits, better profits per-share and a faster growth rate. When you consider what their profits could be like in 2 years if they continue to dominate in the market like they have been, it becomes clear that Nintendo has a far superior business model and may be worth more.

uhh WHAT?

you spend $10 and make $50.

wow 1 - 5 cost/revenue ratio!!

I spend $1000 and make $2000.

not so steller 1 - 2 cost/revenue ratio

guess what, I am worth more then you!

" better profits per-share and a faster growth rate" profits per share & growth rate are not how you measure a company's total worth. Sony is one of the largest companys in the world and here you are spouting finanical phrases and proclaiming Nintendo to be worth more.

But Nintendo makes more profit than all of Sony's divisions combined. So it's more like:

You (Sony) spend $1800 and make $2000.

I (Nintendo) spend $500 and make $2500.

Guess what, I (Nintendo) am worth more than you.

dam so the fanboyism has come down to arguing "my game company is worth more than yours" lol how pathetic.. im guessing everyone is talking about nintendo being worth more than sony ... I'll quote a line from it... and that will be my two cents..

Nintendo is now in the Top 10 companies in market value in Japan for the first time ever. Among those on the list are Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. Ltd., and Canon Inc.
