Sony sees Playstation driving growth, cuts mobile outlook

2016-06-29 08:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Sony has trimmed a number of its mid-term targets, for its mobile and components activities, while forecasting a stronger performance from the Playstation business. Following a corporate strategy meeting on its outlook to March 2018, the company said it still targets an annual operating profit over JPY 500 billion and a return on equity of at least 10 percent by the end of the three-year plan first announced in February. The Game and Network Services segment will be the biggest growth driver of its mid-range plan, building on the over 40 million Playstation 4 consoles sold and the upcoming launch of a PlayStation virtual reality system in October. Sony also expects growth from its Pictures and Music divisions, but has significantly downgraded its hopes for the camera components segment, due to the slowdown in the smartphone market. Sony also cut the outlook again for its own smartphone unit.
