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

      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.
