Sony’s game division head said he hopes the unit can raise its profit outlook for a second time this financial year as sales of the latest PlayStation console and subscription services for games and other content far exceed expectations.
Andrew House — CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment — also said in an interview that he was certain the game division would further increase its operating profit next year.
The division raised its operating profit outlook for the current year to next March to 25 billion yen ($230 million) from 20 billion when it last reported earnings in July.
Sony had sold more than 10 million PlayStation 4 game consoles as of August 13.
