Sorry, not to be a Nintendo fanboy or anything, but why being more proud of Sony than Nintendo? Currently the PS4 isn’t being the biggest seller compared to Wii U (in the whole run). Sony is only doing good with the Vita, somewhat, in Japan… man I don’t understand it XD
Because Sony does a lot more than just gaming!
Exactly, Sony makes TVs, laptops, computers, gaming consoles, headphones, and more… But wow, the fact that Nintendo is seventh place is very good for them being JUST a video game company!
Oh yes very much! If Sony didn’t make other things, Sony would so much be below Nintendo XD
Not necessarily. But since that isn’t the case, we will never know.
True, they can be talking about the tv too…sony does make those
Look at how much Sony has done other than video games i.e the Walkman, TVs and even their films
Man oh man do I remember the walkman!
Nintendo through and through, Sony is a great company, those walkmen get us entertained and women’s curves and booties tight throughout the eighties and the ages :). Nintendo is high, very high up for only being Video games.
what does a company’s international success have to do with the pride of its home country?
Uh, of course the PS4 is the biggest seller right now, ESPECIALLY compared to the WiiU. And I don’t think they care about how it does in Japan only, the fact that their products are doing so well worldwide is probably what makes them so proud. Japanese products being popular globally > Japanese products being popular in Japan only.
Because our great empire conquers the world without a gimmick or a useless camera Sony is gaming…
Haha there’s no Sega to be seen! Hahaha! XD
Not surprise with Sony, they have more than just video games to be proud of.
GREAT for this Nintendo!
especially since they basically have 1 market (for now)
Guess them japs love cars… XD
Japanese, that is a very vulgar term you just used.
Um, really? That’s what you would call a person who hails from Japan….it’s not like they used the word “chink” or whatever.
No thats not what you call people from Japan, this isn’t WWII. Japs is a pretty derogatory term now, you may as well be using chink.
I thought the word “Jap” could be used as both a normal term, and a derogatory term. Turns out it’s ONLY derogatory.
Cool. I am glad that Nintendo is in the seventh place of Japanese favorite company!
Whoooo!
Lucky 7!
Isn’t 7 a very sacred number to Japanese culture?
I dunno. All I know is that the number 4 means death for them.
not that i know of..
4 and 9 are the ones that should be avoided
maybe that’s the reason for sony’s lack of success with the PS4 in japan :P
the japanese are fairly superstitious
Sony just lost 1.3 billion dollars hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahajahah
Some great companies.
Bless us with some irrelevant YouTube videos you social mute.You are an abortion to gaming and an over achieving “Mongolian of unnatural decent”. All hail Nintendo Commander Quadraxis.. A phenom of Trisomy 21…
7th place for Nintendo? 7th Heaven! Leave Luck to Heaven!
GOOD JOB NINTENDO!!
Wow. I thought this place would be packed with trolls like sasorideidaraobi. Oh wait. Microsoft isn’t on this list. Nevermind!
