Sony aims for PS3 holiday sales boost

Sony says it still has a large number of PlayStation 3 consoles to sell in Canada and hopes that special features such as 3D and exclusive games such as Gran Turismo 5 will help it move units.

"We've got a ways to go," said Matt Levitan, marketing manager for Sony Computer Entertainment Canada, at the company's holiday preview event in Toronto on Tuesday. "But if you look at the history of our consoles, right around now — year four, five and six — is when it really takes off."
