Seems like he was... toasted at the time. ;)

First of all, UC 4 will pass 5 million easily, it'll probably come close to 10 million or more. Second of all, Sony makes money on hardware (not much for the PS4 though, but they don't lose money on it) and third of all Sony earns money from third party titles being sold on their system, Nintendo well, they don't really sell that much third party software (on the Wii U anyway). 

They're making quite a bit on that new 3ds. It's way overpriced.

3ds......and Wii u doesn't cost much to make.. I'm sure ps4 is just breaking even..

So is it the new rad thing to make these "X thing > Y thing" threads?

You think uncharted will sell on par with halo?

Not likely. It's a new system with 12.3m sold. Even if sony sold an additional 7m consoles during the holiday, and an additional 20m next year, 1 in 4 ps4 owners would have to buy it. UC has never had that kind of attach rate.

Even uncharted 2 only sold 6.5, let's say 7 for digital included. And that was with an install base of 40m. Uncharted 3 has the same numbers but released with a 65m userbase. That's 1 in 10.

The highest selling game on ps4 right now is destiny, made by bungie, huge marketing campaign, and best selling new IP ever...and that's only 3.3m

5m is generous.

Sony doesn't "make money" on hardware. They are "profitable" on hardware, which is a calculation figuring in one game, an extra controller, and the system etc. And yes, Sony makes money on third and second party as well. My point is that Sony needs install base and games sales. I think it looks very good for them, but you must agree that it's a tough comparison to nintendo. They recently released a new version of 3ds that is going to sell a lot, is overpriced, has a new smash brothers, etc. On top of which, Nintendo usually outperfoms everyone by a lot in holidays. Remember also that Vita isn't doing so hot.

Let's pretend vita and wiiU make the same amount of profit and cancel them out.
What we are then dealing with is deciding what will be more profitable, 3ds or ps4. Gut is telling me 3ds, though ps4 has a very good chance.

Nice numbers Nintendo. Of course some will try to spin it to something negative or defend Sony, but numbers are cold. Hopefully this the ray of light at the end of the corridor for them and come with a great experience in the future like the Wii/DS generation.

You might want to reword your questions here. You ask what "company" will be more profitable. Since Sony is 1.25 Billion in the hold this Q2 it's obvious it's not going to be Sony. Your title seems more on the level, but as far as the companies it's an entirely different story. I know it's nit-picking but it is what it is. I will still actually stick with Nintendo for the most profitable gaming division as well, they have a better record of keeping their costs in line with their profits, Sony's track record says the opposite. Afaik, MS has never made a profit on their gaming division, but that's not why the seem to be in this business. Ouya.... Well.... I really don't know.

The Wii U was overpriced since Day One. It wasn't profitable though
