Sony admits wrong about rights

Sony video chief Ken Kutaragi frankly
admitted frustration dealing with management's policies on content rights. He and other Sony employees have been working for years to introduce products like the iPod, but have been stymied by high-ranking officers' proprietary views. Kutaragi says this struggle has led to lost sales from MP3 players and other gadgets.

He also says things may be looking up, as Sony divisions are starting to get on the same page: "It's just starting...
We are growing up." He looks to the new PlayStation Portable as growing into a new platform for portable multimedia.
PSP has sold 800,000 since debuting in Japan last month, and will ship in the U.S. and Europe this spring.
