Nintendo and Sony stock traded at highest level in almost two decades

For Nintendo that means comparison the Wii era, and for Sony, the PlayStation 2 days.

It's no secret that Switch and PlayStation 4 has been selling really well. Switch has continued to do so despite the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, while PlayStation 5 also seems to be off to a good start. This has of course led to an increased interest in both companies, and now Bloomberg reports that shares in Nintendo costs ¥67 850 (€529.3 / £476.71). This is the highest they've ever been since 2007 when Wii dominated the world.

Sony on the other hand is also reaching heights as Games Industry notices that their stock is traded for ¥10 025 (€78.15 / £70.38). This is also the highest it has ever been for quite some time. Since 2001 actually when PlayStation 2 was being released successfully.

It's worth noticing that a whole lot of video game companies are reaching record levels in stock prices as the pandemic has made people stay home and play video games more than ever before.
