Playstation 3 "gets too hot"

SHARES IN SONY fell after an analyst claimed its long awaited Playstation 3 console gets a bit too hot.

Sony had a few technical hitches at the Tokyo Game Show, according to the Washington Post. Macquarie Equities analyst David Gibson wrote that PS3 units on display at the show operated erratically and had to be repeatedly reset.

He was not sure why the PS3 would do this, but suspected it was due to over heating. Gibson was concerned that such a problem had occurred so close to full production and this was "clearly negative news for the company".
