Do you have a Pc?
If you do then go for PSWii. Otherwise i would stick with the 360 (at least for now)
Apparently, all of Sony.[QUOTE="DireToad"][QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="DireToad"]Wait wait wait.
So Nintendo is getting bigger than Sonythe electronics manufacturer or Sony the electronics manufacturer, TV, movie and music studio?Jandurin
Call me or cow or whatever, but I have trouble believing that. I had the same problem believing it. But, apparently this is the same way they determine MS to be bigger than Sony.
It was Market shares * something value. I dunno, I put it out of my head already, but it's within this thread.
Its called market capitalisation and is worked out by stock price times the number of shares outstanding of a public company.(from wikipedia)
I just grabbed some 2006 financial figures from Nintendo and Sony:
Sony:(in millions of dollars)
Sales Revenue: 63,893
Net Income : 1,057
Nintendo:
Sales Revenue: 4,349
Net Income: 840
Obviously as theses are from the end of the 2006 fiscal year they are not entirely reliable. However it can be seen that Nintendo make almost as much profit as Sony do, however there sales revenue is pathetic compared to Sony.
Furthermore, Sony have about ten times as much worth in assets then Nintendo (90'000 to 9'000) and significantly higher Shareholder equity (27'000 to 8'000)
One other thing, according to the Sony website the only loss making division for them is electronics, however that makes up more than half of their company(the other divisions are Games, Prictures, Financial Services & all other(includes music))
