"Goldman Sachs Group Inc. cited growth of the $50-a-year PlayStation Plus service, which allows gamers to play online, as one of the reasons for increasing its outlook for Sony’s operating profit this fiscal year to 230 billion yen, from 34.8 billion yen, according to a March 31 report. That compares with a 240 billion yen analyst consensus and the 80 billion yen that Sony forecasts for the year just ended."

i thought they forcasted a 1.1 billion dollar loss for the year?

Its April the 11th.  We are in a new fiscal year.  The last fiscal year finished 31st march.

i know, i just assumed they were talking about the previous fiscal year since results arent out yet. thanks for clearing that up though.
