Sony and MS take a piece of every game sold on thier respective systems, so yeah. Thats also why Apple and Goggle are high up.

because my source depictures the reality more, its source vs source but my source looks more real. Thats a fact

Nope. That's an opinion. And you're offering zero actual evidence to back up your opinion. Just because you think it's more accurate doesn't mean it actually is. Now if you have some actual reasons for why you think that I'd love to hear them...

I agree Ruler is not giving any evidence his charts are more accurate. But still, the OP come with a chart showing MS games bigger than Sony and EA, that's something big and as far as I know, new.

IMO, the OP is the one that need to explain/add evidences:
- If you click on the link, they give a link, and the data come from newzoo, which I don't know about.
- MS/Sony dont give a separate revenue for it's game business, that's estimate. Again it's necessary to back it up.
- I read a lot of time EA/Activision were bigger, Sony have about twice the current gen console market, that's hard to believe.
- According to the ranking YoY growth column, it seems MS was already bigger last year, because Sony's YoY growth is bigger, and because the difference with EA is big. Again that's news.

Still, I'm not telling it's wrong, I have no idea how huge Minecraft is, but it's indeed huge and multiplatform.


agree.

Are any of those charts trustful?
We can´t even know accurate software sales...... how could we trust revenues charts?

Anyway... mobile games, mobile games everywhere

If we are going to include royalties, subscriptions and things not releases why leave hw out but keep stores?

 

this seems like a very bizare metric.

Well this chart offers some good news Ubisoft is paying for all their shitty practices.

Pretty meaningless until we see the actuall profit.

I remember Sony few years agofor example having huge revenue in the billions yet in the end ended up losing money.

If that includes revenue from third party licensing fees then yeah it would make sense since Nintendo has lost basically all their console 3rd party revenue and Western devs don't support the 3DS for shit.

It kinda shows too that the whole "Nintendo doesn't need third parties" thing isn't really even smart business.

That crappy version of Barbie's Dream House sitting in a clearance bin in Wal-Mart still nets Nintendo $6-$10 for doing nothing the moment it's printed.

Profit is more important that revenue. You can make millions in revenue but if you still end up in the red what does it amount to?

Read below my earlier post...there is a difference between 'meaning nothing' and thinking about it within the full context...

'But that was not qualified in the above statement which was a very broad sweeping statement to start with. Also as you would appreciate revenue is the foremost important precursor to making a profit. And then still some corporations are prepared go tolerate high revenues at a loss for a little while to secure growth. '
