That's revenue, not profit buddy. They generate more but that doesn't necessarily mean it profits more. And this will indeed be a moot point by next year when Nintendo is charging for online just like Sony has been doing. But I don't even think this thread is about that, Nintendo is worth more than Sony, it has been that way for a few years now. So "making money" in the case that matters is the money that goes back into your pocket. |
If you're talking about market cap, Sony has been generally ahead of Nintendo. Nintendo has had spikes that put them above Sony but they're usually temporary. They're two different types of companies so that's really apples and oranges, though, and mainly a number for investment purposes. In terms of assets value, obviously Sony holds billions more in value. Nintendo clearly has more cash on hand but, again, that's not really a business goal unto itself.
Traditionally, they've both had different principles. Nintendo has always valued profit above all while Sony has always been willing to sacrifice profit for the sake of growth. As I said before, there are negatives and positives for each and they've both experienced the full range.
There really isn't much value in comparing Sony and Nintendo.
