In reaction to an analysis by investment firm Goldman Sachs, Sony stocks have fallen 2.75 percent, MCV reports. Sachs shifted its rating of Sony from "buy" to "neutral," expressing confusion about PS3 launch plans and disappointment in sales of the PSP. The PS3 is further described as "unreliable." A Macquarie Equities analyst foreshadowed these thoughts last week, noting the frequent overheating of PS3s at the Tokyo Game Show. Sony should be thankful however, as the analyst agreed this was probably due to high temperatures in the TGS venue.

The PlayStation 3 launch is now just over six weeks away, and Sony Corp. stockholders are apparently getting nervous. Today, the Japanese electronic giant's share price slid 130 yen ($1.11) to 4,600 yen ($38.98) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, a decline of 2.75 percent.

According to several news-service reports, the stock drop came after two major analysts downgraded Sony's stock on concerns about its gaming division, Sony Computer Entertainment. "We have adopted a cautious view of the impact of the [Sony] game business on the electronics business this term,'' Goldman Sachs analyst Yuji Fujimori told Bloomberg. Fujimori downgraded Sony's rating from "buy" to "neutral" citing "confusion over the release of PlayStation 3 and concerns [about] disappointing sales of [the] PlayStation Portable," according to the Associated Press.

Another Tokyo-based analyst, Macquarie Equities' David Gibson, went one step further. He issued a report expressing concern that many of the 200-plus PS3s on the floor of the Tokyo Game Show "operated erratically and had to be repeatedly reset," according to the AP.

"While the reason for this is unknown, we suspect it may be due to overheating as a result of enclosing the units and the high temperatures at the venue," Gibson said. "We are concerned that such a problem has occurred so close to full production and is clearly negative news for the company."

My Xbox (that I bought 2 months after it came out) died like 2 years later. Pissed me off, but could have been worse right? And my 360 (4.5 months after it came out) is still good, even after being kicked (accidentally!) by myself :lol:
