It's not enough that Nintendo has trounced Microsoft and Sony. Now they're moving on up, trouncing companies like Apple, Google, Anheuser-Busch, and Exxon Mobil. They just showed up at the number one spot on Business Week's list of the top 40 companies in the world.

The criteria for the list was basically companies with the greatest global sales and growth. Sony and Microsoft don't even appear on the list.

So there's something for me to think about next time I want to make some cutting remark about how much dust my Wii is gathering.
