The big difference is that all of Nintendo profits goes toward their gaming, as thats what Nintendo is...a game company.

Sony on the otherhand needs much more in the profits from gaming related media because Sony is a large company with many divisions, some of which lose money, with much higher overhead cost.

It all evens out in the end. I am just happy both are doing well.

That is not correct. Nintendo's profits, for example, will be going towards theme parks and... mobile "gaming". It goes towards making collectibles as well. And from basic observations it's obvious that Sony invests more in games than Nintendo.

Switch will get far more attention from Nintendo profits than cheap mobile games, that was a laughbly weak jab.  As far as theme parks, it is highly likely that the returns will be worth the investment (which means more money for games and other expansions).

 

Also the theme parks are likely to ve Nintendo themed, making them unique.  This will further advertise their games which will lead to more game sales, which translates to more profits.  It is a win/win investment.

 

Sony on the otherhand has been bleeding money in other divisions for years.  While Nintendo has lost far less than Sony in recent years due to the fact that other Sony divisions negate any profit the gaming division sees.  It is only recently that Sony started getting better as a company, and they still have a long eay to go.

 

All in all though, I am glad both are doing well.  My PS4/WiiU (and now Switch) combo has always been the best in my eyes for console gaming.  My X1 on the otherhand...that thing sees nothing but dust.
