Sony’s (NYSE:SNE) bottom line was boosted by strong results from its Gaming as well as Image Sensor divisions, as the company’s fiscal first-quarter profit topped analyst estimates.

Sony posted $2.13 billion in operating profit for the last quarter — its first quarter on its fiscal calendar — up from $1.79 billion for the same quarter last year. This was on revenue of approximately $17.5 billion (flat). The company has cut its full-year revenue outlook on  a forecast of slowing sales of consumer electronics later in the year, and predicts profit to drop for the first time in three years as goes into R&D mode for its next-generation Playstation console and new image sensors for smartphones.
