MikeB looking at asset values alone gets you nowhere. Assets minus liabilities is the real measure of a company's value.

Of course, from the grand perspective Sony is a strong mega company. Their assets (including investments/ownership of companies, banking investments, etc, etc) far far far outweigh their liabilities/loans/etc.

MikeB just one more thing... do you REALLY believe the PS3 will outsell the 360 by 7-to-1 in the next 7 years?

I can't decide which of MikeB's predictions is funnier:

- that the PS3 will sell 15 million on average for the next 7 years, or...
- that the 360 will only sell 15 million more until it stops selling

I think together they're better than the sum of the two parts.

or the fact you thought Sony could not drop their price by $100 or they'd go Bankrupt.

I never said that, at most I said a price cut increases the probabilities of that happening...

What I said back in January was that I didn't believe in price cuts before October... I failed by two months.

 

The fact remains, all of us made terrible predictions except for me, but don't try to gloat when you right 10% of the times.

 

NJ5, i'm too lazy to find your PS3 doom threads, but you know them, you wrote them.

isn't that what MikeB is doing?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I bet X360 never outsold PS3 in the world of MikeB. Numbers might tell different story, but hey do they matter when the 'fact' is just the opposite. :D

liabilities...

hmmm?

you do know that sony has 513 billion in yen out in the market via corporate bonds... ? all has to be repaid someday.

Do you know how much (as in little! comparitively) 513 billion yen is?

Do you know how much (as in MUCH) Sony's assets are worth in yen?

so Sony assets = $125bn.... yet you could buy Sony up for $22.77bn

what does that tell us?

Same as why some "super mega companies" are sold for 1 dollar... you're taking on all the debt burden the company has along with the assets.

(I know you know this, this is more aimed to MikeB)
