Sony stories

 
The PS Vita is in a pickle right now — in Japan. For the second straight week since the new handheld launched, sales for the handheld have continued to fall.

There's no shortage of 3D displays and TVs available for purchase these days. To many, the extra couple hundred — or sometimes thousand — bucks isn't worth the extra "D," but prices are slowly coming down from a year ago. Sony isn't giving up the 3D dream, though.

Now with store shelves full of 3D-enabled PlayStation 3 games, so something like this only makes sense.

So, will it claim you, too?
