PSN still makes more money than the entirety of Nintendo Co., Ltd.

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.

Edit: Haha, the balance sheets I wanted are at the bottom of the sources you provided. It all checks out. Sony is just raking in the money this year.
