Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is king... Or something to that effect.

That and Sony is more than just video games.

"Sony forecast profit to reach 500 billion yen ($4.50 billion) in the financial year through March 2018..."

"Nintendo is aiming for operating profit of 65 billion yen this fiscal year..."

500 > 65

Only because of one-offs on each side. Sony's gaming division is much healthier than Nintendo's.

Not wanting to but in, and not really taking sides, but the discussion is about the profits/market cap now, not in the future.

Sometime in the next few years, Nintendo will be much more than gaming. The fact Mario was such a central figure in the first 2020 Olympic games showcase/trailer, and that they plan to finish the theme park that same year, is huge.

Kimishima likes the $$$

That's some really good work. Kimishima is doing what he does best when his company needs it most.

Idk about "much healthier." Nintendo has only had about 3 years or so in losses, which is their first in decades? They are at least stable throughout their tenure compared to Sony which tends to profit really well or lose pretty bad (i.e. the PS3). Now Nintendo's back in profitability and their position so far is really good. The Switch is selling, the 3DS is still strong, and Nintendo's big titles are doing really well (Zelda being GoTY and GotG contender and ARMS outselling both SFV and TK7 FW in Japan alone) with more to come for the rest of the year and 2018 starting with the biggest new hit from Japan outside of Yokai Watch, Splatoon. Plus their new mobile venture is pretty good and their plans to further expand brand awareness such as merchandise and theme parks (hopefully in time for the Tokyo games) are coming into fruition. 

Not trying to dig at Sony and they've done a good job after the PS3, but right now Nintendo is at a better place than they were even last year and there's potential that they'll do even better.

The Market Cap fluctuates easily anyway, there's really nothing set in stone with this aspect of financials. Wealth and Assets would be more interesting and by previous reports Nintendo takes that cake ahead of Sony. Sure, Sony's Market Cap is 48 Billion, but who knows what it'll be a year from now with investors. It's good that both have increased their caps but it isn't the stat that users here should be interested in.

That isn't profit, thats actually operating income.

"Sony forecast profit to reach 500 billion yen ($4.50 billion) in the financial year through March 2018 from 288.7 billion yen a year prior, when earnings were roughly in line with a revised estimate announced earlier this month."

Operating income - 288.7

Again that change anything, this year Sony had much higher operating income for FY 2017 but Nintendo had bigger profit. Not to mention we talking about current situation, not future.

Sony's market cap is still higher than Nintendo's on the US stock exchange.
