Looking at the financial results of both Sony and Nintendo, analyst (and Twitter user) ZhugeEX has declared that the PlayStation Network alone made more money last fiscal year than all of Nintendo.
Sony sold 17.7 million PS4s in the 2015-16 fiscal year, upping its install base to 40 million. PlayStation Plus subscriptions plus digital sales mean that claim is quite believable.
Sony's PlayStation Network sales hit 529,000m yen which means that PSN generated more revenue than the whole of Nintendo (504,000m yen).

Nintendo recently announced that its new console, the NX, will be available in March 2017.
