Seeing as how we don't have numbers pertaining to any of the Big 3's employee salaries, we can't do much but work off of assumptions. Since both make consumer electronics, I assume both Nintendo and Sony hire similarly-paid workers so the average across their workforce would not be very different.

Of course it would. Sony have a lot more areas and certainly a different distribution of labor and in some cases more outsorced production. Nintendo makes some HW and a lot of SW while Sony as a whole makes a lot more HW than SW. So the type of professionals and the profit margins are very different.

Do we have access to any figures? Because if we don't, we're just pointlessly speculating.

nope i don't. but the sheer size of sony as hw manufacturer puts their profit margin a lot lower than nintendo. average wages and total payroll I have no clue.
