You can look at Mainstream SONY trading at 37 per share for example Grossing over 849 Million if you wanna bring out heavy weight names.
If you're going to compare the size of two companies, dont use share prices (that is meaningless). Your argument is better served to say that Playboy Enterprises Inc (PLA) has a market capitlization of less than $0.5 billion compared to Sony Corp (SNE) which has a market cap of approx. $35 billion.

As for heavyweights, I always prefer to bring out General Electric (GE), valued at over $382 billion.

Apples and oranges, anyway.

Cheers.
