A Sony continua dominando o mercado de games com o PS4 prestes a atingir a marca de 100 milhões de consoles.
No entanto, há um número que mostra o quão grande a Sony é no mercado atualmente. A PlayStation Network, sozinha, gerou 12,5 bilhões de dólares em 2018. Isso considera as vendas digitais, compras de DLC e assinaturas como a PS Plus.
Se compararmos esse número com as concorrentes, o analista Daniel Ahmad comenta que é maior que toda a receita que a Nintendo gerou com videogames. É maior que toda a receita da Microsoft com o Xbox também (segundo a companhia, sua divisão de jogos alcançou a marca de 11,5 bilhões de dólares em 2018).
Once again the big highlight for Sony's Game & Network services segment continues to be the Network services part.

Total network services revenue in 2018 was 1373 billion yen, which is around $12.5 billion.
Once again, revenue generated from Sony's Network services (PSN) in 2018 is higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018.

Everyone's favorite chart again.
Really shows how significant revenues generated from PSN are, especially since PS4 launched. Also shows just how far Nintendo have to go. Despite the boost last quarter from Switch Online, Nintendo digital revenue is still tiny. pic.twitter.com/CCmHZ7psBq
