I wonder if this is Sony's cut of it or if it's just total revenue (before the pubs/devs of sold games get their cut).

Regardless it shows how much money a successful console can bring in with 3rd parties on board.

If I posted that, it would be sarcasm. Why? Because Sony's profits from gaming aren't impressive when they have three things going for them: Strong third party support, dominance in the home console market and subscription fees for online multiplayer.

My fun fact of the day: Nintendo's single-biggest year in profits from video games is greater than the profits Sony made through PlayStation's entire lifetime.

Yes, I know. That's not funny.

Link , because what I remember was the charts showed Sony most profitable year during the PS2 hey day was equal to nintendo's best year , but many people thought it would be more given the huge retail I also remember the PS3 had eaten up those profits , so while I agree with you about profit over the long run ,I'm not sure about Nintendo's best one year profit being greater than sony's total.
