You are looking at the wrong metric. Profit is king not revenue. In an established business you could generate 100 times the revenue of a competitor that is turning a profit, but if you are taking a consistent loss the shareholders will not be pleased and your business will fold while your competitors stock outperforms yours. Edited to add this: Profit is often considered more important than revenue when assessing a company's financial health and overall success, but both are important: Revenue Shows how well a company's products or services are performing in the market, and indicates demand. Revenue can help gauge a business's growth. Profit Reflects how well a company manages resources. Profit is often considered a more important metric than revenue because it shows how well a business manages its expenses. I cannot swear as to the validity of this data so take it with a grain of salt (it is also out of date). That said, if flawed, it still does not invalidate that you are cherry picking the wrong metric. according to the poster this accounts for: Hardware + Software + Online/MTX/DLC

As I said in my first post here, profit margins can be affected by many things. Research and development costs for example. I'm not saying that profits aren't important, but revenue is what makes profit possible in the first place. You have to remember that the PS4 is still generating a lot of revenue/profit for Sony in conjunction with the PS5. You can't look at it solely as a console vs console basis
