He said "(the PSN is making as much as whole Nintendo yearly)" - note present tense ;)

Are we talking profits or revenue on this case? Not that I think any of these currently have PSN over Switch, but we would need to look at the companies released data. For this year we will see on briefly.

FY17 results give us Network (PSN) = 1,033,192 Million of Yens, FY18Q3 433,704 Million of Yens

For Nintendo same period for full year = 1,055,682 Million of Yens, on quick search haven't found for the same quarter, but the cumulative for 9 months was like 900,000 million of Yens. So it seems that revenue on the same quarter was also similar.

Considering the cost of PSN sales is a lot less than full Nintendo (development, HW cost, SW cost, etc) then I would also guess that profit is higher on PSN than full Nintendo.

Eh, PSN will surely have to pay out massive amounts to game developers who's games are their primary product.

This has all been discussed to death : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=239201&page=1

'Making' money, to me, means profit. You can have a big revenue but still make huge losses...
