Yup, and there is a good reason for this. The vast majority of Sony's revenue is driven by tangible production; CCDs for cameras, TVs, cameras etc. These things needs tangible resources to produce before they can be sold whereas Microsoft, like Google and Apple, exist is a very different economic model which the vast majority of revenue is based on selling intangible products or services. Apple do we'll from selling iPhones but this business is dwarfed by the iOS AppStore.You also have to consider profit margin, Microsofts is much higher than sony. In the most recent quarter that we have numbers for microsoft has a 32.3% profit margin, compared with sonys ~9%
Its swings and roundabouts. Sony's PlayStaton division has likely benefited from COVID-19 lockdown but Sony's movie division has suffered due to limited production and cinemas being closed. The companies are really nothing alike and they only compete isn one sector: videogame consoles.
