Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo out for 25 billion dollars or something. 

You might want to rework your numbers you silly, silly man.

Nintendo = 15 million ?!?!?!? you kiddin' me ? it's worth a lot more than that !

"Nintendo's net sales (nothing to do with this here internet) for this fiscal year, which ends on March 31st, 2007, are forecast to be US$6.378 billion, while net profits (after the taxmen have taken their pieces of the sumptuous pie) for this financial year are expected to total US$862 million. That's quite a lot of money."

I think MS has enough money to give every man, woman, and child on earth 100 dollars and still be able to wipe their ass with money.

Make sure you take into account that Sony revenue is amazingly high, higher than MS' revenue last time I checked, profits definitaly not but high revenue = high assets.

Sony : $89.3 billion in total assets

 

Nintendo : $9.8 billion in total assets

 

Microsoft : $66.4 billion in total assets

 

Info comes from www.capitaliq.com balance sheets (rough estimates but you get the picture).

As of the time of this post.

Microsoft is worth: $238.78 billion :http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT

Sony is worth: $37.31 billion :http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SNE

Nintendo is worth: $37.17 billion :http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NTDOY.PK

Microsoft is worth a lot more than Sony and Nintendo combined, probably because they make a lot more profit than Sony and Nintendo combined. Assets and liabilities are secondary to profitability, or net income. People complain about MS not having enough first-party studios, maybe they could buy Sony or Nintendo... :shock:

hd5870corei7

Companies are not worth the amount of their assets, in fact there is no direct correlation between assets and company value. Assets are simply tools to make products to make money, but assets incur liabilities (debt) so more assets is not always a good thing. Revenue by itself is not that important. Let me give you an example:

Say you want to make a TV and sell it to make money, you call people who make plastic, chips and so on and tell them to sell you the materials that you will use to make a TV and then you'll pay them (say $500). They give you the materials, you make the TV which you sell for $1000, you've made $1000 in revenue but only $500 in profit because you have to pay your suppliers the other $500.

So yes, Sony does make more revenue but they make less profit because they have higher costs. In the end, it's profit that matters, because profit is the money that stays in the company.

also i might have been wrong, Blizard made more profit than Nintendo/Sony last year im pretty sure, but Nintendo/Sony are worth more
