The company currently possesses an estimated cash and cash equivalent of approximately $11.44 billion, after being converted from Japanese yen. Notably, Nintendo’s report also reveals that the company is entirely debt-free, solidifying its strong financial standing.
The report, brought to light by Install Base forums and Twitter user Pierre485, communicates the rankings of various gaming companies on the financial scale. Nintendo emerges on top, signaling its importance and success in the world of Japanese business. Accompanying organizations on the list include Bandai Namco at number 25, Square Enix at 38, Konami at 50, SEGA at 63, GungHo at 64, Kadokawa at 81, and Capcom at 88.
Amidst its phenomenal accomplishments, Nintendo has experienced unparalleled triumphs, attributed to the immense popularity of the Nintendo Switch, the advent of themed amusement parks, and the release of the critically acclaimed Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. These successes, combined with Nintendo’s rich history dating back to its establishment in 1889, further solidify its exceptional position in the market.
Interestingly, the report bears the absence of Sony, a prominent competitor, from the rankings. This absence is potentially attributed to Sony’s substantial debt value, reaching $31.33 billion as of September ’23.
