That's actually going in details, but saying that PSN brings in more money than all of Nintendo doesnt means nothing when Nintendo made bigger profit actualy. When people see headline "PSN brings in more money than all of Nintendo" they expecting that PSN earned much more money than whole Nintendo, and that's not true.


Just for record:

Sony Game & Network Services (G&NS) 
Operating income – 431 (millions of U.S. dollars)

While Nintendo made profit of $570m

You're doing the exact same thing that you're complaining about the title/OP doing. The title is correct (kind of), Sony's network division did bring in more money than the whole of Nintendo, just like what you are saying about Nintendo's overall profit being superior to that of Sony's.

But what you are saying means just as little as what the title is saying, unless you look at the details in both cases. And FYI looking at the details and how it affects other things is pretty much the definition of looking at the whole picture...

Again, when people see headline "PSN brings in more money than all of Nintendo" they expecting that PSN earned much more money than whole Nintendo, and that's not true. I am not complaining, I just pointing that despite "PSN made brings more money than all of Nintendo" Nintendo actually made more profit than PSN and actual 3x more profit than whole Sony.
