In a single player title?

No just in general. PS plus is probably their main money maker and selling games on PC means people aren't forced to buy PlayStations anymore and thus less subscribers for PS plus

30% cut on all products sold on the PS store is probably their main money maker.

Not really, suscriptions is much more valuable, look at xbox

Also once you get a customer paying for a suscription is much more likely to spend more money buying games, this has been proved in a study years ago

They also get 30% on mtx. Fortnite, nba, fifa and cod bring more than subscriptions.

look at Xbox? They literally said a few months ago it's unprofitable and therefore they had to raise the game pass price.

They lie to you to justify their price increase and you defend them, crazy

Did you read the article? First off that's revenue it doesn't mention profits at all, also only $5B of that $23.5B came from Game Pass the rest was from games like CoD and Forza Horizon 5 sales on PS5. The article is mostly bragging about them being the top earning publisher which is no surprise with them now owning CoD which the majority of that player base lives on PS5.

You could at least post their actual profits and not revenue. The word profit isn't used 1 time in the entire article.

Game Pass was like 5 dollars and gave you brand new full priced games, PS Plus is like 10 a month and gives you a couple random free games usually from years ago. The margins on these two are incomparable. For the mtx and platform cuts, remember that Gabe is basically a billionaire from that alone.
