PS3 sales mean big problems for Sony, plus when will consumers care about WiMax?
We heard earlier today the PS2 continues to outsell the PS3, and the gap continues to widen. What's the hold up for consumers, and what does it mean for Sony? We talk to CNET TV's Molly Wood, as well as Gear Diary's Chris Spera about the situation. Molly sums it up nicely: If Sony wants the PS3 to stick around as a platform like the PS2 has done, they need to listen to customers instead of dictating to them.
