Interestimg story, but realize that the article is citing "total net assets", this obviously includes many assets that are not liquid and not easily converted into real monies; manufacturing plants, patents, etc...

I would be more interested to see numbers for actual cash on hand, R&D monies and capital investment numbers.

Someone commented that Nintendo has a better financial picture than MS Game division, something that is pure folly since you cannot seperate MS in that manner. The Redmond giant is still sitting there with $60 billion in cash, and sits on the cusp of a major cash influx from Office/Vista/Exchange etc, in the next fiscal year. Let's not kid ourselves into the notion that those products and thier respective profits will not continue to subsidize and expand the games and media business for MS.
