Xbox has repeated the same terrible mistakes for over a decade. The reason is simple: its priorities are back-to-front.

    Say what you will about Sony and Nintendo but they have output and they care about gaming because they have to, it’s the only way they make money.

    You are aware that Sony makes lots of other things besides games too?

      Take a look at Sony’s annual reports and then get back to me. PlayStation is the engine that drives the company.

          The sale figures are a bit misleading as the different sections also have different costs (sales make games look more important).

          The corporate reports are archived here, and the equivalent per-section breakdown is on page 37 of the 2023 report.

          https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/corporatereport/

          When comparing operating revenue (i.e. profit) the breakdown is:

          section billion yen
          games and network services 250
          music 263
          pictures 119
          entertainment technology & services 180
          imaging & sensing solutions 212
          financial services 234
          other 17

          So it looks like they made a little more profit from music that year.

          1. Revenue is not profit.
          2. Gaming is by far the biggest bar in that graph.

          I stand by my point.
