How much profit did company A and company B make in your example?

A) Makes $3b profit

B) Makes $5b profit 

A) Sells double the Hardware, 10m consoles sold

B) Sells double the subs/services, 5m consoles sold

And since you can`t provide revenue or profit for xbox we can only really look at their hw sales estimatives from several different places.

From the 3 companies the only one that really can have much higher profit than the others with a lot lower sales is Nintendo because first their games budget is a lot smaller, they have a very high attach ratio and mostly sell first party games. MS and Sony their profit is very dependent on the number of consoles sold (with subs about 40-50% of the HW sales, games sold total about 12 per consoles and most being 3rd party). So you won`t have Xbox selling half of PS and profiting double unless you want to pick up money made on other markets (let`s say consider GP, SW, Gold sales done on PC, minecraft sales done on PS, PC and Switch that isn`t a comparison to include against Switch or PS as much as isn`t picking Pokemon Go revenue or anime or merchandise that go to Nintendo) even if in current gen even if you pick every single source of revenue and profit and for the whole department (that have more than even every Xbox market) it doesn`t win from Nintendo or Playstation.
