Sony Corp. reported early Friday morning that it had a per-share loss of 12 cents in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2017, using current foreign exchange rates. The company's loss per share was worse than the 2-cent loss one analyst had forecasted, per Yahoo Finance. During the same quarter a year ago, Sony reported earnings of 20 cents per share. Revenue for the quarter, ending March 31, fell short of the analyst's expectations as well. Sony reported revenue of $17.8 billion, while the analyst projected revenue of $19.6 billion. Sony's revenue during the same quarter a year ago was $17.4 billion, using current foreign exchange rates. Sony's gaming business continues to be a boon to the Japanese company. Revenue for Sony's gaming segment increased 13 percent year-over-year for the full fiscal year, the company said, due mainly to increase in PlayStation 4 software sales.
