The gargantuan Japanese company saw an 89bn yen (£500m) profit for the third quarter ending 31st December 2014. That's up from a 26.4bn yen (£148m) profit during the same period last year.
The Game and Network Services division, which runs PlayStation, saw an operating income of 27.6bn yen (£155m) for the quarter.
