If it is about profit than Steam(deck,console) is the highest one:

Valve’s revenue per employee is estimated to be around $19 million, potentially making it one of the highest revenue per employee companies globally. And they have less than 400 employees...

This. This is why you can't judge success off profitability alone. You can be extremely profitable if you have few employees and no retail supply chain to feed. 

Well you are changing things up.  We were talking Market leader. Neither of us ever argued that Sony or Nintendo were not successful.  Many would say you can judge success off profitability. Both Sony and Nintendo are successful.  Even Microsoft is successful in the Video Game space - just not as dominantly successful as I'm sure they would like to be.  In konnichiwa's example Valve is getting the most juice for the squeeze. He isn't saying they are the market leader.

Sorry I am derailing and it is mostly a game of semantics.  We are lucky to have 4 big players in the space that are all making money overall while also producing consoles.
