[QUOTE="SuperVegeta518"]Just in case you are actually being serious, MS has $50billion in the bank. Sony probably doesn't have any now.GloverD
Funny as you say that. You think The PS3 will Destroy the sony Brand .... Lets see Sony has Top of the Line Tv's, Dvd/Bluray Players, Home theatre Equipment, Laptops.. They make such movies as Spiderman Series (highest grossing) and Own Columbia Records. So No Fanboy just no.


Also Just had the Fastest and Best Selling Console of all time. Does that money just Dissapear????



the money went into funding the ps3 and the reason why sony's net income is so low is that the games devision ie SCEI has so much operating losses that the barely have a large net profit

I I believe that Sony is not worth as much as Microsoft. On the other hand just because they have windows mean they are the richest. I thinkl that the oil companys and the banks like citi and chase have the most money right now.

No. Simply, No. The assets are irrelevant in this case. MS is worth 270 billion dollars. Sony is worth 47 billion.

You'd be right. Citigroup is the largest company.

I'm not looking at it from an asset perspective. I'm looking at it from a market value perspective. Sony is worth more than MS if you only count assets. Reading would be nice, you know?

Either way, you're wrong. MSFT stock is at $29.4 USD, with a stock volume of 55,551,296. SONY has it's stocks at $51.99 USD, but with a stock volume of 1,639,397. So MS absolutely obliterates Sony under your criteria.

Not to mention, stock worth is hardly the best comparison of company worth. I find market value to be a much better representation, since stocks are heavily affected by investor confidence, not only actual company value.

look. Sony makes cameras, tvs, the best selling consoles, the best selling games, cards, computer, they do it all.


MS only has and OS that no one cares about cause they have linux on their PS3, or mac for personal use, and an XBOX which doesn't make any profit.


I hate fanboys who think Sony is in debt and such, they have so many things to fal l back on, spider-man 3 anyone? Columbia records anyone?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft created Windows.  And isn't Bill Gates, the guy who started MS, the richest guy on Earth (or one of them)?

I seriously hope this thread is a joke.

Latest figures Sony made $1,058 million (ie, a little over 1 billion) in 2006 according to Money Central.

Microsoft made $12.6 billion. Yeah....

I assume Sony's costs were R&D for PS3 and Blu-ray, as well as that laptop battery fiasco, but it all meant that they are in fact not richer than Microsoft.

So, in the end, what company is richer?

Under your criteria, if I told everyone in the world that I'd give them $200 dollars if they just lent me a $100 dollar bill just to touch it, I'd be the richest man in the world, disregarding the fact that I'd be about 135 billion dollars in debt.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"] 3) Sony made $63,980 million in 2006 according to Forbes. Microsoft made $44.2 billion. Yeah....



That's revenue. NOT money "made". Revenue is a terrible indicator of actual worth. Sony actually "made" 1.5 billion dollars against Microsoft's 13.06 billion dollars.

This is correct, but I feel a clarification is needed:

Most of Gates' money is in the form of Microsoft Stock. If MS goes down in flames, so does Bill Gates. Of course, he has his house and most certainly a fund that would keep him a millionarie, but his finances would be greatly, greatly affected. It's not like he has billions and billions under his mattress.

Yeah, it's just that the topic is which company is richer, and your first post was indeed that Sony had "made" more money than MS - which is utterly incorrect. "Made" money implies the increment in money in the coffers of the company.

It's a common misconception based on accounting formats, which post revenue before posting expenses and profit. In truth, if you look at it chronologically, Sony first lost about 66 billion, and THEN recovered  about 67.5, so they ended up making 1.5 billion.

Revenue is largely irrelevant in defining which company makes more money or which company is worth more- it's not even a cap for profit (there are other ways to profit that don't involve actual revenue).

Don't you know that MS gets a cut off of ALL computers bearing windows, wow, you are quite ignorant. MS is BY FAR richer than Sony. Do you have any clue how much they make off computers, just image HOW many computers have windows.....almost EVERY school system, and how many people own SOny TV's? MS has no real competition.

[QUOTE="SuperVegeta518"]Just in case you are actually being serious, MS has $50billion in the bank. Sony probably doesn't have any now.GloverD
Funny as you say that. You think The PS3 will Destroy the sony Brand .... Lets see Sony has Top of the Line Tv's, Dvd/Bluray Players, Home theatre Equipment, Laptops.. They make such movies as Spiderman Series (highest grossing) and Own Columbia Records. So No Fanboy just no.


Also Just had the Fastest and Best Selling Console of all time. Does that money just Dissapear????

hmmm the money went here:

The problems with Blu-Ray have created extreme cost and execution problems for Sony and now their premier division (instead of being the profit center for Sony) is predicting they will take a $1.5B loss next year largely resulting from this decision. To put this in perspective, just think what would happen if Apple’s iPod group, instead of generating massive profit, suddenly dropped into massive loss. Now you can see why the Sony PlayStation division just changed out their top executives.

This thread was tried about a month ago and just showed how little everyone knew about finance.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=MSFT&annual

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=SNE&annual

This shows that Microsoft generates a greater profit than does sony.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=SNE&annual

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=MSFT&annual

This shows that Sony has greater assests but also greater liabities, Microsoft has a higher net tangable asset and shareholder equity.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cf?s=MSFT&annual

This shows that Microsoft generates a positive cash flow while Sony generates a negative cash flow. Microsoft had a negative cash flow in 05 due to a one time dividend payout.

There is no debate, there is no opinion, there are facts.  Microsoft generates higher profits and a positive cash flow and carries no debt. Its not hard to understand, one day you will go to college and learn about it too.

It's amazing, as soon as you put logic and common sense into a thread on system wars the thread dies.  Seriously it takes two seconds to look up these answers.

Although Sony might be bigger than MS, I wouldn't be surprised if MS bought SCEA (Not Sony, just SCEA).......right before the NEXT gen of consoles.

Right now, Microsoft is measuring profit in billions, Sony in tens of millions (both US dollars).---All due to PS3 dragging the rest of Sony's profits way down. Microsoft wants "in" the Japanese game market. They can't see to get in by themselves. Wouldn't surprise me at all for them to try to "buy in" to that market. Buying SCEA would go a long way......

hahahahaha, never gonna happen, never. just think about there are more playstation 2's out there than ipods. believe it. and sony company value wise is worth more than sony, but not in spending wise. because companies like microsoft just waste your money on the same thing over and over again. no new inovations. Windows have looked the same, just more 3d. and if you make fun of sony for saying 4d, i wouldnt be surprised if they make 4d windows lol.

Pretty much. Then again more then half of the PS3 fan boys would pay $60 to play PS3 while Ken is jamming his boner in their mouth.

look. Sony makes cameras, tvs, the best selling consoles, the best selling games, cards, computer, they do it all.


MS only has and OS that no one cares about cause they have linux on their PS3, or mac for personal use, and an XBOX which doesn't make any profit.


I hate fanboys who think Sony is in debt and such, they have so many things to fal l back on, spider-man 3 anyone? Columbia records anyone?
