Sony shares dropped 2.75 percent today in the wake of reports that PlayStation 3 units had to be frequently reset at the 2006 Tokyo Game Show; Sony says problems caused by high temperatures at venue.

"While the reason for [the PS3's technical difficulties] is unknown, we suspect it may be due to overheating as a result of enclosing the units and the high temperatures at the [TGS] venue," Gibson wrote in a report. "We are concerned that such a problem has occurred so close to full production and is clearly negative news for the company."

Though the article is quick to point out a seemingly valid reason for the issues that negates their problem in the home market, bad press and stock drops seem to be following Sony like a plague lately.
