TOKYO: Japan's Sony Corp on Wednesday said it expects operating income to slip 4.3% this business year following record profit from sales of music, gaming and other content to people forced to stay at home by COVID-19 lockdown measures.

That demand has helped Sony continue its shift from consumer electronics to entertainment content and digital subscription services, though analysts said it may wane as more people in key markets such as the United States get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
