That's not true at all.  Revenue is important for growth, which in turn can lead to increased market share and a stronger position in the marketplace.  Look at Amazon share price and tell me that it's not a viable path.  

As I mentioned in my other replies, revenue is kinda pointless to look at in the context of a gaming forum - especially when comparing a digital store front with a console/software company - what we need to know is profit!

It's not pointless in any measure of the word.  Revenue is very important--that's why it gets reported and why it gets talked about so much.  If Sony called it a day and just closed up shop after giving a quarterly report, then you'd be right, but that's not what's going to happen.  Revenue is the ability to keep moving forward, which is why it often means more to observers than margins.  Many of the most prominent companies in the world got that way by prioritizing revenue.  It's a measure of scope and a window on potential.
