Sony (Hanover: SON1.HA - news) on Friday nearly tripled its annual net profit forecast, citing lower-than-expected costs in its chip business and other divisions, including the PlayStation games business.
The Tokyo-based firm is now expecting net profit of 73 billion yen ($668 million) for the fiscal year to March, well up from its last forecast of 26 billion yen.

Looki forward to the financials.  Hopefully a ps4 sales update.  Overall increased profits is really good for Sony too.

He really has. He's made some tough decisions but he's steered the company back into healthy profit.

Yeah. Sony's biggest problem by far was its unwillingness to drop areas of their business that just weren't working or to heavily alter them to take on a smaller or different market. Which, from what I understand, is a common trait among many Japanese companies.

Now hopefully he makes sure playstation doesn't get arrogant again after the success of ps4 and have the ps5 bomb.  I would hope they learned their lesson after ps3 though.

Quote
The forecast for consolidated operating income has been revised upward due to expected improvement, compared with the February forecast, in all segments other than the Components segment, which is expected to deteriorate compared with the February forecast. The primary reasons for the upward revision in the segments that are anticipated to improve are expected decreases in amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs and other costs in the Financial Services segment and lower costs than anticipated in February in the other segments, particularly Semiconductors.
That is the reason.
