PSN Generates More Revenue than Nintendo

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.

Maybe it isn't. But it's a digital PS service, so I think it could be. Not like it makes a big difference, it only offered PS3 games in FY16.

@Bolded: That's an issue Nintendo needs to address. If only their systems had more than 1 game's worth of storage.
