I highly doubt that Bill Gates is worth less than Sony. Otherwise, Microsoft could have bought out Sony.
I think the way the two companies compare is Sony does more business because their products are pricier. They have higher revenue because hardware just costs more than software.
Of course, Sony also has higher costs associated with their business. Microsoft probably has higher profits.
I think in any case that both companies have enough cash that it doesn't really matter who has more. Neither company is going to spend all of it on recouping losses. In fact, they probably wouldn't spend more on the games industry than Nintendo is capable of spending (remember that Nintendo's check account is nothing to laugh at either).
