If the servers costed as much as the difference to retail... Then sony would be closed already just from the ps+ giving you several hundreds of dollars for a small fee.

That's what the fees for PSN+ are for. Nintendo doesn't have any of that, their online service is free.

Plus, in the same way as MS, Sony is much more than gaming, if they need the cash they can get it from another division. Nintendo doesn't have that advantage.

But again, this is mostly speculation on my part, since I don't know how any of these companies work internally. I'm talking from personal experiences for companies which are much more smaller than any of the big 3.

Well, Ninty was bragging about how much money they have made, and ninty fanboys always said Ninty won the 7th gen because they have made much more than the others... and when Sony gives you more than 2k worth of games for "free" (while you have PS+) not sure how much you expect to be just to keep the network going... but let's say that by the numbers we know (30 dollars per game sold goes to the dev/pub) then 30 dollars of it would be for Network costs... that would be more than the possible profit or maintenance cost of PS+ (since they have to pay for the deals)... so it still doesn't make sense to say that they don't eat the difference and abuse their base.
