No, you're comparing Apr-Dec 2015 from Nintendo to Oct-Dec 2015 from Sony's gaming division. Scroll further down:

For Q3 2015:

Nintendo: 33.508B JPY

Sony's gaming division: 40.2B JPY

This is income from games and whatever content PSN sells.

No, it says FY/3 2016 operating income is 42,485 for Ninteno. I'm looking at it right now. I could screen cap it and upload it if you want. And for sony, It says right under their game division report 

"The G&NS segment includes the Hardware, Network, and Other categories. Hardware includes home and portable game consoles; Network includes network services relating to game, video and music content provided by Sony Network Entertainment International LLC; Other includes packaged software and peripheral devices."

Look at it again - Nintendo made less money than Sony's gaming division. If you want to nitpick about digital sales driven by the PS consoles, then we should remove the sales of any merchandise from Nintendo's operating income. Those aren't video games either.
