I said it isn't funny. Didn't take long for someone to get upset.

Don't you love when people discredit facts with "oh I don't care about sales and profits on a sales and profits forum, I only care about GAMEZ"?

there are no "facts" to counter/discredit   provide legit sources if you think i am wrong

And this will continue to be the case for the rest of life.



I'm now filled with determination.

you mentioned the profits from gaming earlier in your original post. does this graphic show the results from the SCE branch or of Sony as a whole? and why does it stop at 2011? thanks

Here are the same numbers in a table that includes 2012-2013.

I have searched for the source of these numbers many times but have not found any.

thanks for that, but i'm highly skeptic of those numbers, and yeah it would be great to see how they would fare now way into 2016 after the ps4, wiiu are in their midlife. 

i'd love to see a breakdown of the ps2 vs gamecube era numbers, that surely can't be correct

Those numbers are total bogus, both for MS and Sony. Nintendo numbers are likely correct though, because they are only a video game company. For Sony and MS, many of the years include other divisions. The correct number for 2012 for instance would be about 300 million $, so a whopping 3.1 billion more than that graph suggests.

I dont get why so many People are "mad" about paying for Services like PS+ or Xbox Gold, i mean so is paying for an internet Connection also "Bullshit" in your opinion?!? Im absolutely fine with it paying 50 Euro/Year for a Service like this, also you get free Games. Ok mabye a lot of People dont like them and think its "Bullshit" because they arent Triple A Title, but what do you expect!?

And if Nintendo would go the same way i wouldnt be surprised or mad, but they are mabye not in the Position to do something like this, thats why.

the problem is that when you pay for PS+/XBGold you still have to pay the company providing an Internet Connection lol

If I don't care about the games PS+ offers me, and I'm paying said company for my Internet, why do I have to pay additional money to play online in a game that costed me 60€ and in most cases relies 90% on online ?

Nintendo numbers are handheld + home console. Handheld has probably been profitable until 3DS but N64 and GC probably was not that profitable.

Does make sense considering the userbase is 3 times larger but is interesting to think about the scope..

But it's PS4, PS3, for PSN Vita vs 3DS, DS, Wii U and Wii for which Nintendo still sells software. Even though 7th gen software is pretty much dead.

DS had no online shop, only DSi did iirc but I think it was terminated a while ago...



Dr.Vita on 24 April 2016

Doesn't surprise me.
Playstation brand is much bigger than Nintendo brand nowadays.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

In that case DS can be scrapped since I really doubt Nintendo still ships DS retail software. On the other hand how on earth are PSN of Vita and PS4 making almost more income than everything of 3DS and WiiU combined. I tought 3DS did quite good.
