@bitleman That just proves further my point, Sony is worth a lot less as a business than Nintendo, if you know how business works, i have been over this before.

Sony has much bigger over heads (spend more money, but make the same profit), they pay much more staff, but their value as a business is slightly under Nintendo, this means that Nintendo is more stream lined, they hire less people but they make about the same profit, they spend less making games than Sony and Nintendo market their games in countries that they have historically been strong in (this can be a bad thing though, as they haven't branched out, as i explained before, Nintendo need to branch out to Europe). But this serves them as well as their marketing is around 1/5th the cost of Sony's global marketing machine, but rake in about the same profit.

This all means that while Sony hires more people, has more offices, and does more things, due to the ineffective practices, some of these other projects have cost them more than they have made, their discontinued laptops or their really shoddy phones are a prime example of this.

As i explained, Sony have many divisions, they have the scope to pass Nintendo if these other divisions really start making money, but that hasn't happened yet, not to say it can't but it hasn't

Nintendo might have a smaller presence but in terms of value, they are bigger than Sony and if you are a business man, you look at the bottom line, Nintendo's bottom line is bigger.

If you want to buy a company, you would buy Nintendo, they spend less money on staff, they have a smaller presence, but their profits are just as big if not bigger than a company the size of Sony's... that my friend is how big Nintendo is.

@YummyHappyPills yes that is actually true.
