Earnings are declared where it happens. So a 1st party game sold on PSN have the revenue declared as PSN revenue, if it were otherwise then 3rd party games sold on PSN would have only Sony portion declared. Nintendo have the cost of Switch (which let's say sell at break even) that takes much more from the profit than Sony paying the dev cut... game sold at Walmart and PSN the dev/pub get about the same, on Walmart let's say Walmart get 10 and Sony 15, on PSN Sony get 25 (so from 60 sale, 25 profit - 40% margin). And sorry, but your posture were more on it being impossible that PSN profit more than all of Nintendo instead of it not being possible to prove it right or wrong. |
Bold 1 : Yes, REVENUE - I'm not sure what you're trying to clarify here - I've never claimed income generated from game sales isn't included in REVENUE.
Bold 2 : Hardware is only part of Nintendo's sales, not sure if you've noticed but they're also selling a butt-load of software - of which they'll retain a significantly higher portion of the profit than PSN will from it's software.
Bold 3 : If you want to invent nonsense to argue against, knock yourself out! I actually couldn't care less who's profit is higher - I don't own stock and I don't owe either company anything.
I own a Switch & PS4 btw.
My only point is that the initial statement that PSN made as much money as Nintendo is unfounded, and thus far you've spectacularly failed to prove otherwise.
As usual, you love to argue over nothing and just fill the thread with waffle.
I'm not going to derail this thread any further (I have suggested to you multiple times to move it over to a relevant thread), and I'm also not going to continue yet another futile tail-chasing session with your good self. I'm out ;)
