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.

PS3 games are still in a lot of demand. That's why remasters sell so well on PS4. But whether PS Now is doing well is debatable. It isn't available in most countries, a lot of people still have PS3 to play PS3 games, some of the games on PS Now are also available as remasters on PS4 and many of them are available in a better performing version on PC. Also it requires a good ineternet connection. I don't really think PS Now plays a major role in these numbers even if its included, but it has potential.

I think that's also because Sony has amazing sales on PSN like they had recently and that Nintendo consoles don't have third party games that have most of the paid dlc that probably added huge revenue here. With better third party support for more huge AAA games Nintendo can have mbetter eshop revenue but then again their hardware is too weak to support most of the huge western AAA games that have all of downlaodable content.
