To Clarify: Sales from PSN for Sony are almost as big as Nintendo Software + Hardware + Network combined

PS Plus is working + more DL sales

That's pretty crazy.

Also a chart of how PSN is changing quarterly.

You're on the wrong forum if you're going to be offended over sales information.

Also not surprising when one service has a steady flow of games and the other one doesn't ...

Oh man here we go. Anyways given that PS4 now has paid online it shouldn't be that much of a surprise that revenue is up in the end. Also got to take into account that digital and DLC are only growing in presence from here on out.

That leads me to a big question. Will Nintendo start charging for online?
