Sony barely ahead of Microsoft with extra 27 million consoles sold. Is it any wonder Sony is looking to PC to see an increase with revenue.

Only tiger can turn this into some sort of positive for MS compared to sony

Where tiger from?

Looking forward to seeing how Nintendo is this year. They barely released any games last year

Epic thread backfire lol

Reality burns. Sony revenues are not that impressive. MS with 27 million less consoles sold is close to Sony.

What do the numbers even represent?

Millions of dollars in revenue per quarter, and percentage gains or losses YoY

This Top Video Game Companies ranking is based on analysis of annual and quarterly financial reports published by a number of relevant publicly listed game companies. For companies that do not split out their game revenues, the analysis includes estimates, which may or may not be indicated explicitly. Revenues (GAAP) are restated to reflect Calendar Years, therefore do not necessarily match reported Fiscal Year results of individual companies. Revenues exclude hardware sales and other non-game sales to the extent publicly available. Microsoft and Sony estimates represent all Xbox and Playstation non-hardware platform revenues (including Xbox Live and PSN revenues respectively).

Change column is the YoY change in % and revenues are in USD Millions.

@Chutebox: It means absolutely nothing. Tigersuperman is grasping at straws and failing again.

@loe12k: What do the members represent? Reality is, Sony is two spots.ahead of.MS according to these numbers that mean something. So tell us, does reality burn?

@charizard1605: So this doesn't even include hardware sells?

What each company made over Q1, Q2, Q3,Q4 full year 2016. Sony made 7 billion and Microsoft 6 for 2016.

Sony is ahead but barely.

Nope. Software and services revenue

Also, Valve is not counted here

@Chutebox: Looks like software only and MS is still losing lol.

@charizard1605: Damn lol

@loe12k: barely haha. You're drunk.

You realize that MS sells games on PC right? MS should be on top of Sony but they're not. Also, look at the change. MS only grew by 9% compared to last year while Sony grew by 33%. And 2016 wasn't all that great...

Also, lol tigersuperman...

Sony and Microsoft don't make money from Hardware, its very little profit.

I not Tigersuperman whoever that is.

Sony sold an extra 27 million consoles we should be seeing an increase. Still Sony is not crushing MS like the the media and you guys try to claim.

Yes barely. Sony shipped and sold 27 million extra consoles. They must be collecting dust.

Oh Lord haha

Go home tigersuperman, you're drunk.

@loe12k: Microsoft has minecraft and basically every windows 10 pc so if anything its a shame sonys ahead.

Shit ps3s online is still free and you could bet your ass 360 subscriptions still add up aswell

Not to mention and extra 10 bucks over ps plus a month

So you're just gonna ignore that 33% increase in revenue YoY huh? lol tiger...

The good: MS is within the top 5 game companies with growth.

The bad: MS's growth pace is not keeping up with other platform holder Sony.

Refer to year 2014 and 2015 data before Xbox Play Anywhere and Windows 10.

33% growth. Impressive. Though Chinese company taking #1 spot is kinda sad.

Tencent is Chinese government supported since they have restricted foreign game consoles until late last year.

@ronvalencia: consoles software is marginal profit for the giant company, they own most of Riot, aka league of legend and probably some of Activistion.

Thank you Microsoft. Sony rekt again.

No but you guys claim Sony is destroying Microsoft. Well we have statistics that show otherwise.

Microsoft made 6.5 billion in 2016. Sony made 7.8 billion. For a company thats sold 56 million consoles and Microsoft 28 million gaming revenues are not that far apart. You kind of wonder why?

I think its obvious least for me the xbox box userbase is spending more money buying DLC and games.

Ouch! Even here PC is crushing consoles as PC company is at no. 1.

MS also include everything xbox PC and surface i am sure.

Revenues exclude hardware sales and other non-game sales to the extent publicly available. Microsoft and Sony estimates represent all Xbox and Playstation non-hardware platform revenues (including Xbox Live and PSN revenues respectively).

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

We got owned by Tencent?

Also, this is just a rough estimate of revenue, not even profit.

@zeeshanhaider: Your stupidity just continues to amaze.

Has SystemWars really sunk to the point where now we're debating which corporation makes more game revenue?

This chart just shows that the industry is healthy for GAMERS. For the rest of your fanboys no matter how you spin your bullshit each company is doing just fine! This is only showing gaming software revenue for each company and each company is doing awesome. I am sure Nintendo will rise on the chart with the success of the Switch. If you fanboys think any company making 6.5 billion dollars in revenue as bad then you are a complete and utter idiot period. Sony at the 8 billion mark is pretty bad ass in itself. For Microsoft and Sony beating Apple is a pretty awesome feat with all the mobile shit.

Half of that Sony's revenue if from PS+ subscription and still in a distant second place.

Consoles on a death bed confirmed.

Lol yeah they're getting destroyed. They're losing in software AND hardware. MS sells on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows 10. I wouldn't be surprised if mobile sales are included in that number.And they still couldn't sell more software than Sony who's selling on PS4, PS3, and Vita.

I think it's obvious you're as delusional fanboy trying his hardest to spin bad news as good news for MS. Give it up Tiger...

I'm pretty sure we've been here before lol

@loe12k: so 1.3b isn't a lot lol

Please make sure post in npd threads. We miss you there

Who the hell is Tencent? I'm going to assume mobile phone games.

Agreed! There's no need for spinning here. The numbers are solid no matter who's in what position.

Sorry I just read your last post take it all back hahaha!

for Sony currently having twice the userbase than Microsoft is only pulling in 21% more gaming revenues; kind of surprising

wait what? lol

Well if we listen to Playstation fanboys on here the xbox is doomed! This thread is important because is shows MS xbox is not doomed they're making lot of money with gaming and there not that far behind Sony who has 2-1 lead with console sales.

Sure. You guys keep mentioning this poster, he annoyed you guys hope he posts again then.
