TOP 25 public companies by game revenues

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).

Simple.

Example:

Lol, Playstation subsidiaries conglomerate... Its companies stock is privately held..its not a public buy in..its a separate company..there is no public traded stock..

Now some may Say but..but..Sony stock...stop right there..Sony's the only stock holder of the playstation conglomerate.. But that is just held stock for asset purpose, that stock is held whole owned by a non alive entity.. iE: the company itself..playstation as a conglomerate has its own board of Director's.. Its a whole owned subsidiary conglomerate in unto itself..so no public traded stock, thus you have no real solid information about Playstation outside Sony itself having the info..and they do not put out that internal information other than basic shipping, Sold through data..and information that they can use for marketing purposes.

Interesting to see Microsoft more successful than Sony. Maybe focusing on PC as well as Xbox was the right call. This gap will only become bigger as Microsoft brings more 1st party games to PC and expands it gaming division's reach to its hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users.

Nah don't think so.. Lol

Congrat MS and SONY on being #2 and #3 respectively. As a owner on both MS And Sony consoles and a fan of both, this is great news.
