Nintendo near Sony's worth in market value

Nintendo has made a huge stride recently, overtaking electronics firm Matsushita to take second place in market value for electronics firms. Nintendo's current market value sits at 6.30 trillion yen ($51 billion USD), which is alarmingly close to first place Sony, who currently enjoys a 6.64 trillion yen ($53 billion USD) market share.

Also, take into account that Matsushita and Sony make all sorts of electronic devices, not just video games. This makes Nintendo's strides that much more impressive.
