Sony called most green games company by Greenpeace

Do you love the earth? How about the PSP and PS3? Good, because your loves are one and the same. Sony is called the most green games manufacturer by environmental group Greenpeace. Sony scored an impressive 7.3 from the organization, making it the third most green company in the list. Compare that to Microsoft at 2.7 and Nintendo at a shocking 0. Sony fans certainly can be proud of their company's efforts to truly go green.

SONY Ranking = 7.3/10

Sony has made a dramatic rise to 3rd position, moving up from the bottom in the fourth version of the guide and from 6th in the last edition.
This time the company has gained points for improving its reporting of the quantities of electronic waste it recycles.
The company receives a good score for providing many examples of products that are free from PVC plastic, including models of the VAIO
notebook, Walkman, camcorders and digital cameras. Sony has commitments to phase out PVC and BFRs by 2010. Sony’s takeback and
recycling programme has good coverage, particularly in the US, and the company provides clear information to its customers about what to
do with discarded products.

Granted yours is more colored.

And what's real funny is both Microsoft and Nintendo, and this

Nintendo - New to the guide - first global brand to score zero across all criteria!

why nintendo is considered the lowest (the least green)?? Microsoft is worse, with 33% of failure rate, that can't be considered green at all, can it?

Read the article, it actually alot more to do with production policies than necessarily having a high turnover rate. Although they also address the return channel, which Microsoft was rated well on. Again just have to realize what the metrics mean [in this case, microsoft takes product back and attempts to refurbish in good gesture instead of just suggesting the customer take a sledgehammer to a bricked console].

[ add /edit ]
And of course, Nintendo's policies of using some of the most toxic plastics remains unchanged, oh well .

And is Apple's low rating before, or after, they switched to aluminum-and-glass?

Because out of the two M$ sucks the most. Seems logical to me, Nintendo doesn't sit so high with me all the time but damn I just wish M$ would just go away and never come back.
