It's interesting, but perhaps not surprising that Nintendo have the top spot in the run down of last years gaming companies. The financial end of year report shows Nintendo ahead of Konami and Square as the big player, with Sony getting a steady look in down further in the ratings.

Microsoft are still troubled in Japan though, as they reduce their head staff and make do with their current userbase. It seems likely that they are concentrating their efforts on the US and Europe, which show better profits from the Xbox sales.

Nintendo's top spot is due mostly to the amazing sales of Pokemon, as well as gamers buying more Gamecubes than ever before. Of course, looking at the sales of the consoles themselves, the PS2 is still way out on top of the pile.

Pretty much expected...

What I am surprised about is the fact that Microsoft have just about completey given up in Japan.
