I do not have ps3 sadly enough but I can give some advice for fighting Skeletron. You would need a silver armor or better to make the fight easier. Also make a flat platform slightly above ground level around 30~50 blocks long, which will help you with dodging his attacks. Absolutely do not try to fight it with melee weapons. Use shurikens or throwing knives found in chest because they have high dps for early game. Also keep a silver bow or better at hand and fire arrows or better as ammo. You could also put down a campfire on the platform to help with your hp regen. Check the Skeletron page for more info and video on how to defeat it solo.
