both companies already release their lastest quarterly results, so can you show us data that back up your statement?

I think these might be it?

Nintendo's $569 million in profit versus Sony's $174 million in profit. Movie business hurting Sony.

By the way:

Why the difference between Microsoft and Sony? Gaming Revenue vs. Game & Network Services respectively?

Someone here with a Twitter account able to ask him?

i was thinking more in line with the thread and talking about only games and networks sony division. that has a operation income bigger than nintendo in q1-q3 and the latest forecast by both companies points to sony making more money than nintendo in this fiscal year (sony 135 billion yen operation income just for the G&NS and nintendo intire profit will be 90 billion yen).

 

Surely sony as a whole doesn't get profit like nintendo but it's mainly because of huge spending in R&D, a lot more assets to maintain, paying interest and past debt while nintendo has low operation income but gets money from interest because have nearly no debt and have money sitting in the bank. if we look at current operations sony is currently making more money, the past choices/mismanagement and the size of the company prevents it from keeping the money they earn.
