Sony’s online service, PlayStation Network, made more money last year than all of Nintendo combined.<\/p>\n

Twitter user ZhugeEX<\/strong> <\/a>was the first to point out the incredible statistic following earnings calls given in early April.<\/p>\n

During the last financial year (ending 31 March 2016) Sony’s PSN service earned 529.1 billion Yen<\/strong> in sales. In the same time frame Nintendo earned 504.4 billion Yen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sony made PSN a requirement to play online games following the launch of the PS4 in late 2013.<\/p>\n

With the console’s lifetime sales rumoured to be nearing 40 million<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in addition to PS3 and Vita users, this figure begins to make a bit more sense.<\/p>\n

Sony also takes a percentage of all content sold through the PSN store. That means all media content sold through PSN (including PlayStation Music and PlayStation VUE sales) also counts towards this sale figure.<\/p>\n
