Nintendo passes up Sony, now worth more as a company.

Not sure if srs... You nintendo guys are really this dumb?

That Nintendo value, btw, has dropped nearly 75% from a few years ago, during the Wii period.

So that actually doesn't look good for Nintendo.

Sony at least has a better excuse considering they have to manage, R&D and manufacture so much more (cell phones, tablets, PCs, TVs) and make movies (like Spider-Man). It's not going well, but they have more to worry about.

Nintendo has one streamlined thing to focus on (video games only) and they have lost considerable value these last 3 years, and they suck at selling one of the consoles and their games.

Let's see dumb Nintendo today make and market their own line of cell phones, PCs, tablets/laptops, media players and, on top of that, be in charge of an animation studio and entire motion picture wing (Sony Animation and Sony Pictures).

Nintendo doesn't even know how to market their own gaming console well. They would never be successful in marketing and selling films and other entertainment products.

In terms of market capitalization, Nintendo actually is bigger than all of Sony put together.

There are other factors to consider when measuring a company's worth, but this is one of the most important ones (say, equivalent to measuring countries' economies by using their GDP) and the standard one.

The point of all this is, Nintendo is nowhere close to being 'doomed.'

That may be true that having the Sony brand extended into every corner helps them a lot, but Nintendo is not new and have been around the beginning of video games, so shouldn't that historical name-recognition (and nostalgia) also help them in the same manner?

Also, while I somewhat agree with you, it could backfire for both of them, because if someone doesn't like the Sony, Nintendo or any other company (Google, MS, Apple, Toyota, Honda) for whatever reason, that could mean those consumers will always neglect every single product made from them, even if the product is decent or even excellent.

We've heard of someone with one bad experience with a Sony CD player or Sony TV, and then swears off Sony forever and only looks to Samsung and LG now. So for every loyal fan they win, they may have many boycotters and rigid anti-Sony people as well who will never buy a Sony product again.

They were both falling, it's simply that Sony was falling a lot faster and fell below Nintendo.
