Nintendo has surpassed the enormous electronics firm (and unfortunate 3DO M2 owner) Matsushita to take second place in market value for electronics firms. Nintendo's market value (the value of all of its shares) is currently at 6.30 trillion yen ($51 billion), which is not that far off from first-place Sony's 6.64 trillion yen.The really remarkable thing for us is that Sony and Matsushita make all sorts of things, like computers and radios, and their revenues are currently over eight times those of Nintendo. Nintendo just makes video games and their shares are eclipsing Matsushita's.

I wonder if the Reuters article is talking about just Japanese Electronics companies and not worldwide. Last time I checked, Samsung was over 100 bln in market cap, far greater than Sony...
