Surprise: Sony raises full-year forecast as gaming thrives under COVID

Sony released the full Q2 financial report. Nikkei writes:

Sony said it expects full-year net profit to grow 37% to $7.6bn after a strong second quarter, improving from its previous forecast of a slight decline, as pandemic-related demand boosted gaming revenue.

When it comes to camera sales Sony says there was a “decrease in unit sales of broadcast and professional use products and digital cameras.“. Interesting to note that in the Sensor business they forecast  an “increase in sales of image sensors for digital cameras”

Probably means they expect camera sales to recover from now on.
