The PlayStation Network alone made more money than Nintendo last fiscal year

29 Apr 2016

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.

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

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
