There is a difference between revenue and profits from gaming. Nintendo has earned more profits from gaming since Sony entered the console race in the 90s, on the other hand Sony has earned more revenue from gaming since the 90s. In fact, Switch 1 earned more profits than PS1+PS2+PS3 and PS4 combined. Only with the PS5 has Sony became a huge profit maker from gaming.

The reason for that difference between revenue and profits has been that Nintendo has earned profits from hardware sales as well as selling more first party games than Sony, while Sony on the other hand has lost money on hardware which made their console business less profitable before. On the other hand Sony has always sold more third party games which contributes to them making more revenue than Nintendo.

I don't disagree and honestly don't care who makes more.  I am just trying to get him to understand that total sales don't mean anything.  It isn't a good metric, never has been.

We are on a site dedicated to sales. Lol. Of course the championships are determined by sales. But Nintendo makes the most money too, which i knew all along as well
