Nintendo Now Worth More Than Sony

I guess it's not hard when you're in possession of the top-selling home and portable consoles worldwide.

According to the NY Times, they edged out Sony for a few seconds before dropping back down. Still, quite a feat for a dedicated console video game company.

Given the bulk amount of Sony stuff, that is quite some high $ for just a game company.

Good for Nintendo! I have a PSP and a DS. I dont know where my PSP is because I havent touched in in about 8 months. I play my DS almost everyday. My ps2 is collecting dust. I have about 200 games for it, many still in shrinkwrap, and its just wasting away. I play the PC, xbox 360 and Wii way more than PS2, which is why I didnt get the PS3.

Why would you buy that many games for a system and not play them? At least I saved some money and skipped the buying games part.

Indeed, but their market cap is roughly $20 billion more than it was during the PS2/GameCube era and is now within spitting distance of Sony's.

Sony had a bad decade. Let Stringer turn around Sony, and we might see a Sony of the same caliber of the tech boom.

I purchased many games based on reviews and playing on friends systems. My son has his own PS2 and I have mine. The primary reason I gave up on the PS2 is the excrutiating load times. I hate waiting and waiting and waiting for the thing to load. Then came the horrendous graphics, ug. The Gamecube had better graphics. I gave most of my games to my son and even he hasnt unwrapped some of them. He has been playing Wii most of the time. I have always been a PC gamer so I went back to playing games primarily on the PC. Recently I got an Xbox 360 and the VGA cables. I must say playing the Xbox 360 in HD on my WS PC screen is a great experience. The PS3 just doesnt have the titles I am looking for right now. I got the PS2 for the FF series and was generally disappointed with it. Then came GTA:San Andreas for the PS2 and I loved that game even with the slow load times, but once GTA:San Andreas came out for the PC and was 10000 times better I completely gave up on the PS2. I play it occasionally for Collosus (sic) and Bully but other than that its PC > Xbox 360 > Wii/GC > PS2. 🙂
