No it does not. Sony isn't like Apple. I can freely buy things in / for PlayStation games with my credit card. Not so in iOS apps. There all payment goes through Apple, taking an additional 30% cut above the 30% cut of the app price. Neither Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo does this.

This is not true, they all take a cut, please provide proof of an app/game on one of these platforms not taking a cut if you are going to make a claim like that. It's ~30% but it can vary.

pretty sure if you buy an item (game, controller, etc) FOR a playstation, they are paying sony a royalty to produce that item.
