Ricoh G900 has a 20.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon S32 has a 13.0MP 1/3" (4.8 x 3.6 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Ricoh G900's sensor provides 7MP more than Nikon S32's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the G900 and S32 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh G900 and Nikon S32 Cameras
As seen above, Ricoh G900 has a 1.6x Larger sensor area than Nikon S32. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
