It's currently pretty even, despite higher margins for AWS, and "already" is saying a lot despite how long AWS has been around. I covered this 64 days ago in [0], but here's the relevant part again. Looking at Amazon's Q1 2016 Financial Results [1], page 8, we see that net sales of non-AWS amounts to ~$26B, and AWS is ~$2.5B. From the Segment Highlights section (same page), AWS sales is 9% of total sales. AWS beats non-AWS income only because there were losses in international; ignoring international, it's a $16m difference. Looking at page 14, Media sales in North America and International sum to $5.6B. Media sales alone is double AWS's sales of $2.5B (page 13). Profit margins are way higher for AWS, so there's still a lot of room for a larger income difference between the two segments.
