Hello Player 1

Reuters is reporting from Tokyo that Nintendo’s market value, already having edged out Matsushita, is closing in on Sony mighty fast. Here are the numbers:
Sony = 6.64 trillion yen
Nintendo = 6.3 trillion yen
Matsushita = 6.23 trillion yen
Of course, the really remarkable thing here is the difference in what these three companies produce — Sony and Matsushita make everything but hair spray, while Nintendo makes Wii, DS, and gaming software. That equals a whole lotta wow.
With Nintendo as hot as it is right now, I’m anxious to see its rank on Interbrand’s Top 100 Global Brands list come August. I used to work for Interbrand, and while I’ve never had much regard for the list itself, I hope those who compile it will finally realize that Nintendo is worth a lot more than it was four years ago. We’ll see.
