@Bitmap - You do realize that they are talking lifetime for both services, right?  That is, in over 5 years MS has earned over a billion while in just over 2 years Sony has earned $180 million

 

Sony's been up for 40% of the XBL lifetime, so 180 million means around 420 million for a similar lifespan. MS is still tracking ahead. Not that anyone cares, besides those working for MS/owning MS shares.

if PSN is making more and more money and its profits are on the rise (psn), then why should they care that Live (on another console) is making more money with other types of income (subscription for example)?
