Title: Nintendo closes in on Sony in market value
Post by: manuel on June 20, 2007, 12:11:55 pm
Quote from: reutersNintendo shares closed up 1.4 percent at 44,500 yen, increasing its market capitalisation to 6.30 trillion yen ($51 billion).

That compares with Matsushita's 6.23 trillion yen and 6.64 trillion yen for Sony -- the world's largest and second-largest consumer electronics makers, each having sales more than eight times as big as Nintendo.

I knew Nintendo does well, but that surprises me.
Nintendo is practically worth as much as Sony, although they only make games and no computers and other electronics...

I should have bought Nintendo stock 5 years ago. :'(

PS3? ... ???
You mean because PS3 is a failure?
Even with that, Sony's stock went up the past years.

Me too. Now I hope they use the heaps of money to develop great successors to Wii and DS (and/or Gameboy).
And good games of course. ;D

Sony's lucky enough to have more than PS3 in stores. What, Nintendo has vgs and Hanafuda decks. :P

How much of their revenue would be from hanafuda cards? 0.0000x...%? ::)
I'd like it if they produced more and different hanafuda decks. That would be something to collect, too.
As a business, Nintendo is really doing great.

none of their revenue is from hanafuda, no one buys hanafuda cards when they could buy a wii

Don't they usually give out those cards to members of Nintendo Club instead of selling them?

I'm surprised that Game Informer would let such an error go by, Pro-Nintendo things in their magazine? IMPOSSIBLE!

Is it? I just remember that the discount card cost $15 for half a year & that included the magazine subscription for 6 months.  At the end it just seemed like I got my money back. :-\
