Sony is making more money off PSN sales than Nintendo made in revenue

Nintendo's earning call came with a number of revelations like the fact that the upcoming Zelda game has been pushed even further back to coincide with the launch of the NX and that the company's next mobile apps would be focused on Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem.

While these announcements were at the forefront, the earnings call actually contained Nintendo's earnings. Industry insider and analyst ZhugeEX (via Eurogamer) took Nintendo's earnings and put them into a context was somewhat sad for Nintendo.

Sony's PlayStation Network brought in 529.1 billion yen in sales during the financial year that ended on March 31st, 2016. During the same financial year, Nintendo, all of Nintendo, raked in 504.4 billion yen in sales.

The sales for Sony doesn't include console or handheld sales, nor do they include physical game sales. It only covers the revenue from PSN, meanwhile, Nintendo's revenue covers every game sold – digital and physical, as well as every console and handheld.

Hopefully the NX can turn things around for Nintendo.
