You say Nintendo will make money from 3rd parties, but Sony nor Microsoft are making money with them. Yoshida himself said they make very little money from software sales.

So, what's the real solution?

The point I'm trying to make here is that the comparison isn't fair. A better comparison would be to compare the software sales of both the PS4 and the Wii U's exclusives. 

The article you linked to is actually about Sony's 1st party games, so nothing to do with 3rd parties at all...
Both Sony and Microsoft make most of their money from 3rd party platfrom royalties.

The comparison is fair. Consoles aren't just exclusive games, there are other games as well...
If we were comparing Sony and Nintendo as publishers then yeah only count exclusives. But we aren't, we are comparing software sales of the consoles. And regardless of who made/published the games they have still sold on PS4.


That is your opinion, and we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

In any case, I see no real reason to celebrate this. The PC ultimately wins this category, and you would agree with this. I'm sure you don't agree that we'd celebrate this fact with the PC, right?
