The above were two tidbits to come out of Sony's general announcement re targets and plans for the next couple of years, made just a short while ago:

Note that it's the AP says Sony said 'all' PS3s will be upgrade to support 3D.
Apparently 3D TV will be a big push from Sony next year.
This has been discussed before, and it's been said that HDMI 1.4 will be required to support 3D 'by the book'. So will they come up with a hack for PS3? Or...?
Other tidbits:
- Sony's targetting profitability in the game business by March 2011 via increased hardware/software sales, cost-cutting and 'enrichment' of PSN services.
- Sony overall is targetting a 5% margin on operating income and a 10% return on equity by March 2013.
- Sony expects 300 bn Yen in annual revenue from network content and services by March 2013. Will focus on 'Evolving TV' - network services and apps delivered to TVs to extend revenue generation beyond the initial TV purchase.
- Kaz showed up to demo the wand and a new e-reader. I guess e-readers fall under NPS?
edit - More via Pug; suggestion of new subcription on PSN (?!) Among other things:
