Not the best news for Sony execs (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/03/sonys-kaz-hirai-discusses-ngp-strategy-longevity-expectations/) to be waking up to this morning, as the company's PSP has played a starring role in an unfortunate, though thankfully innocuous, incident. A 10-year old Milanese boy was recently so absorbed by his portable's make.believe (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/live-from-sonys-ces-2010-press-event/) world that he forgot the real one around him had boundaries with bright lines painted around them. A moment later the young gamer found himself next to the train tracks a few feet below the platform designed for human occupation, though he wasn't there long as an off-duty policeman by the name of Alessandro Micalizzi quickly leapt down and lifted him to safety. See it on video below and feel free to draw your own conclusions about your gaming habits.
