As an entire company, Sony is possibly at its healthiest with projecting 8500bln yen revenue for FY2017 total, and 720bln yen operating income. They have raised their overall profit projections by ~15%.
They are tweaking overall FY2017 gaming revenue projections downwards from 2000bln yen to 1940bln yen, noting "change in launch date of certain software titles" (most likely God of War) and "higher than expected sales of hardware at promotional prices during the holiday season" (most likely their promo price wars during Black Friday and sprinkles of it throughout December). Projected profit stays the same.
