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.

This should be good enough. There are obviously a few years missing at the end.

Sony's total on this graph with very rough maths: ~300 billion yen
Nintendo's best year: ~550 billion yen

Sony hasn't been doing too hot in the years that are missing. Should average a profit of ~50 billion yen per year.

 

you mentioned the profits from gaming earlier in your original post. does this graphic show the results from the SCE branch or of Sony as a whole? and why does it stop at 2011? thanks
