You're looking at the last fiscal year. Sony's net income for Q2 was 130.9 billion yen. Nintendo's net income for Q1 + Q2 is 51.5 billion yen. Sony's Q1 profit was 80.9 billion yen.

So, for the current fiscal year, Sony is at 211.8 billion yen vs. Nintendo's 51.5 billion yen.

Want to add anything else?

Source? I'd like to be able to look over the PNL sheets myself, but they are always locked behind a paywall, or just not publicly available. I mean, how the heck did Sony manage to triple it's net income year over year? It just doesn't make any sense. There's likely some hidden debt, or some other liability that isn't being accounted for. Either that or they are printing money compared to last year. 

Nintendo and Sony both have publicly-available statements of income available at their respective investor relations sites, which is how this information makes its way to you.

Regarding your question to me earlier, the reason I couldn't compare the net incomes of the PlayStation division and Nintendo as a whole is simple - everything else past that point is both pooled with the other divisions of the company in the case of Sony, and include things like foreign exchange gains/losses, interest on holdings, and taxes, among others in the case of both.
