So you think PSN cost more to Sony than making Switch (which margins would be close to zero) or development of games? Yes, sure thing. Margin on services is much higher than on HW.

And funny of you to send this link that basically proves the point (Daniel Ahmad would be much more trusted source for this than you) and you before acting as if this wasn't a real thing, and then just shifting to "past tense".

Looking at profits on Nintendo as a whole it have Operational Profit of 177,577 Million Yen for the closed fiscal year while Sony had over 250,000 Million Yen profit

So seems like PSN still profits more than all of Nintendo. Thanks for your help to confirm.

For every non-Sony developed game they'll have to pay the majority of the game sale on to the developer - so yes, their costs will be very high.

And Daniel Ahmad is talking about revenue, not profit.

@bold : where did I say that Nintendo made more profit than Sony?

If you want to continue the debate I suggest, 1st read the entirety of that thread, then 2nd, post there, as this is kind of OT.

I read the thread at the time it was made.

the 250,000 Million Yen is for PSN, which is bigger than the profit of all of Nintendo.

You may not like it, but that is how it is.
