Nintendo breaks into top ten (Japanese) companies

Deis | June 25, 2007 | News | Company

Stocks and relative market values of companies may mean nothing to many of you, but, trust me, this is a good thing for Nintendo.

I wonder if their economical policies helped them garner support?

Nintendo has become one of the top ten most valuable Japanese companies, alongside household names such as Toyota, Canon and Honda.

Shares of Nintendo have risen to a record JYP 46,350 (EUR 279), valuing the company at JPY 6.57 trillion (EUR 39.5 bn).

At first I thought it strange that it hadn't been in the top 10 for ages, but thinking about it, the Japanese market, especially technology, is incredibly competetive and successful, so it's not surprising given some of the other big names.

Wonder what the people (andbythatimeanidiots) who keep telling me video games are a dying art would have to say to that? XD

Economical policies? lol, lets make one thing clear here. The Wii is the sole reason for all of the good news Nintendo has been getting lately. If the Wii didn't have such family appeal, then we would just have another ho-hum Nintendo console. They (Nintendo) have always survived within their niche and everyone wants to pat them on the back for they've done in the past, but this is the first time in a LONG time that they have actually made this kind of noise.

"Economical policies" was a joke, sweetheart.

Who's been saying video games are a dying art, Acid Rayne? I've never heard that.
