PSN alone almost generated the same sales than all of Nintendo in 2015

The PS2 era numbers are correct though

 

You have to consider that Nintendo had the massively succesful GBA and DS.

again, we're talking SCE numbers or Sony as a whole?are you saying during the ps2 era SCE couldn't make 1b$ in any year while Nintendo has done it since 98? maybe if we're including losses from Vaio, Bravia and other divisions, fine. SCE alone during ps2 not reaching 1B in black sounds very very strange

That is exactly what I'm saying. I'm telling you that you have to consider that Nintendo has their massively succesful (especially at the time) handheld division, which was just as succesful as Sony's home console division, and in addition, Nintendo's 1st party software has always sold a lot better than Sony's 1st party software, and profit margins are much higher with 1st party software than 3rd party software.
