PS5's operating income already more than PS1, PS2, PS3 & PS4 combined.

This actually makes me mad. Sony is making more money than ever yet they still laid off a bunch of employees, including employees at Insomniac who, IMO, are basically keeping the PS5 afloat with first party releases. Take away all insomniac games from the PS5 and you have like half the amount of first party releases.

I'm really tired of companies doing this. Higher than ever profit and revenue but they still justify cost cutting measures as if they are essential. It's just greed at this point.

Not that I'm a fan of everything that they do, but this is the one area I respect Nintendo in more than any other videogame publisher.

Making more isn't a great metric.  Money is worth a lot less today.  Needs to be offset via inflation.  

In the 60s, 30k a year was an amazing salary.  Someone making 40k today isn't making more than someone who made 30k back in the 60s.

Edit

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your point.  I'm just saying the gap isn't as big as it first appears.
