So Nintendo actually made more money than Sony did in gaming? Wtf.

Nintendo-336 Sony 333. Pretty much a tie. But with Nintendo they sell amiibos and lots of 1st party and is late in their console cycles which typically reaps the most profits.

Also this goes back to revenue. Sony did 587.1 vs Nintendo 425.6, but Nintendo made more profit because it was mostly software vs hardware for Sony. Once the PS4 is late in its console cycle it should produce more profit.

MS also makes a lot more profit due to software (Windows, Office, etc.)

Hm, this makes me wonder if these companies are all laughing at us for arguing over unit sales. If Nintendo can make more money (for whatever reasons) than Sony even though the PS4 is kicking the holy hell out of the Wii-U, unit sales CAN'T be all that important. 

Very interesting.
