Nintendo struck a symbolic blow against Sony today as its market capitalisation shot past its long-time rival.

In trading in Japan on Monday, Nintendo shares hit an all-time high of 46,350 yen, valuing the group at 6.56 trillion yen (£26.5bn). This was enough to overtake Sony, whose shares were down over 1%, giving it a market capitalisation of 6.5 trillion yen.

Analysts said this underlined the differing fortunes of the two electronics giants. While Sony's shares have gained around 40% over the last 12 months, Nintendo's shares have more than doubled.
