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.

Still no solid numbers so I wouldn't say with confidence that Sony's "profit margin" is lower than Nintendo's.

If you look at most Fiscal Year reports you'll see that Sony profit margins are very smaller than Nintendo

Sony revenue Q3: 2,580.8 B Yen for a profit of 202B Yen or 120B Yen for shareholders.... 8% or 4,7% depending on where you look... and that was a record quarter for Sony

Nintendo revenue FY15: 549,8B Yen profit for 24B Yen and 42B Yen for shareholders... 4,3% or 7,6% on a bad year. ... on 2011 1,014.35B Yen revenue for 171,1B Yen profit and 77,6B Yen net... 17% or 7,6%

On general Nintendo show better margins than Sony, it's actually one of the proud points Nintendo fans bring on the site.

Numbers! Good ol' numbers! Math is a lovely thing.

I think this is the first I've heard of this. I generally don't make a habit out of looking up financials.

 

Good to know.
