This is a forum right? I assume you posted the quote with the intent to discuss or put forward a point? Or is it your hobby to just post random quotes from some strangers in some 3rd party site everywhere for no purpose at all?

it was for information purpose. But you are right on your post.. Sony and MS cant be compare. Sony can be compared to MS divisions not whole company :P

 

 

 

On Serious note, i want this debate to be over.. How about we wait till games are not and never talk on this subject again. Thank you.

 

Phill will never give clear cut answer.. He just cant help but keep spinning his PR  nonsense..So lets just wait till Starfield is out if thats on PS5 then yes all games will come to PS5

Yup, entire Sony can really not be compared to entire MS. That said, if you are going to play Share and Market Game - according to Google, Nintendo is far bigger than Microsoft :lol:

 

According to Google:

Sony - 7769 JPY = 5409.62 Indian Rs/share

MS - 219.66 USD = 16,122.49 Indian Rs/Share (Includes Windows/Office/Azure/Xbox/Everything Else as well)

Nintendo - 58240 JPY = 40,560.96 Indian Rs/Share

 

This is the entire company valuations. Same story over 5 years as well.

 

So really, the "guys going their own way" and "no valuable IPs" are having the last laugh.

 

It's the story of the 3 monkeys. 2 monkeys (Sony and MS) keep fighting, while the 3rd one (Nintendo) quietly takes the entire victory cake away.

Yes. I think even Apple uses Samsung parts in its phone. Even sony provides camera lenses to a lot of its competitors.

I laugh at any man who thinks any trillion dollar company can just keep throwing money after failed ventures. Heck! It's worse for a large successful company because the cost of capital is so high. Any new venture need to grow phenomenally and generate high returns to be worthwhile. That's why you see Google pulling the plug on services even when they show good potential. 

Gamers are f**king clueless about any kind of economics so we should just stay the f**k out of it. 

Quoting Market caps and other nonsense is meaningless to the discussion. 

 

Both MS and Google have a pretty massive graveyard of failed products and services. Mixer's grave is still warm lol.

Sorry for the OT, but, just one clarification: company valuation refers to the market cap (share price x shares outstanding). Looking only at the share price is quite meaningless for getting any kind of sense of how "valuable" the company is. It must always be combined with some other financial metric.

 

Now, back to the action y'all

Thank you very much for the info. You learn something new everyday. Might be useful to me someday. Thanks for that :thumbsup:

 

According to that metric, MS is still far bigger than both Nintendo and Sony. I was mistaken and I apologize for that (MS in trillions vs Sony and Nintendo in billions).

Even looking at the market cap can be misleading since it is the value of the equity not of the business. Gaming companies don't have huge debt but in other industries like infra, retail, car rental, etc, debt forms a big portion of the company value and looking at the equity value won't give you a view on the scale of the business. Adding debt to the market cap is a crude but decent way of looking at the actual size of a business.

+1

 

In fact, while we are at it, might as well reduce cash and equivalents and calculate the Enterprise value. This will help prevent highly leveraged companies (with no cash flows to service debt) to claim top spot and mislead the notion of "value" again. But, really its all about what kind of ownership perspective are you looking from. 

 

Also, gaming revenues have very high seasonality. Especially for console gaming as sales peak in holiday season. So, only Q3 will again give incomplete picture. For real comparison, consider annual revenues.
