PS3 Shipping At Half-Mast?

It can’t be fun to be Sony right now. Although the list of playable titles showing at TGS06 buoyed the PS3’s waterlogged entree, it looks like the big black boat is still taking on water. Specifically, taking on a 3.1% stock dropout after a major brokerage firm lowered Sony’s rating:
Mitsubishi UFJ Securities lowered its rating on Sony to “3” from “2” and slashed by half its estimate on PS3 sales for the current business year ending March 31 to 3 million units, citing difficulties in procuring enough cutting-edge parts.
Not enough parts? A halved sales estimate? Will we ever be able to play Final Fantasy XIII? You can’t get this kind of bad press from the fanboy rumor mill, that’s for sure.
Thanks to Game|Life for the scoop and the pic.
