I wasn't aware that Sony was making that much money off of psn. Guess Nintendo fans will be swallowing that paid online pill in spite of what many of them said about paid online for MS and Sony.

Luckily it will be cheaper than the other 2!

And you will also get one game instead of the 2 to 6 six games we get, and that game will just be a ROM of a 30 year old game that I could easily download on my smartphone and play through an emulator for free.

What exactly does this revenue include? Just the subscription fee, or also 1st party software sales and 3rd party royalties or even 3rd party revenue generated via PSN?

Every purchase made digitally through PSN (games, DLC, expansions, microtransactions), PSNow, and subscriptions like PS+, Crunchyroll, Netflix (at least I think so). I assume the figure only refers to revenue kept by Sony, after royalties and fees are given to 3rd parties and vice-versa.

The reason Nintendo makes so little through the eShop is because they only sell games and DLC for said games. It's just an online shop, whereas XBL and PSN are much, much more than just that.

I don't think PS Now is included in this revenue, as its a different service.

The reason Nintendo doesn't make as much money from eshop is also because Nintendo consumers have less games to choose from hence software sales are lower, they don't have third party games with all those DLC's to add to their revenue and they have much lower digital attach ratio. Remember that these figures are for the whole of Nintendo, and that most of their revenue comes from physical software and hardware sales.
