Sony "Pleased" By Nintendo 3DS

Can you blame them? If they could say something - anything - to get someone to pay $3000+ for a 3D TV that they could otherwise buy at half the price, of course they're going to do it. It looks like Sony doesn't have much hope for their handheld market anyway...Tom Goldman said:
From what I understand, the 3DS uses camera to track the players eyes so it can make the image be at the correct angle for the 3D effect to work. This can only work with one person, so putting it on things made to be enjoyed by multiple people like TVs and theater screens is impossible.Korten12 said:if they can make a screen for the ds that requires no glasses, why dont they just make tvs that do the same?
YES! We are glad our most well known competition is making an alternative that is several thousands of dollars cheaper and glasses free then what we want them to buy!Tom Goldman said:
Well then don't pay for the extras, simple as that. Eventually the technology will become much cheaper like HD TV and the PS3, but it can't really happen unless it sells at least moderately well now. Pushing the technology now means that more money is taken in, therefore more money in R&D, and new, cheaper ways to produce the technology. It may not always happen, but as far as I know that how it usually does.Sparrow said:
'course, I could be talking out of my ass, who knows.
I really hate this current 3D trend, I like how the new DS is shaping up but if they try to use this in counsels or anything else it's going to suck.
Woah where did you get that info from?Not G.

Sounds like that's gonna sap a lot of battery =(
And the glasses sound like a very VERY expensive proposition at 180 bucks a pop, I could get a pair of ACTUAL glasses for that. I'm assuming these aren't the same as the ones you get in 3D movies?
and amazingly enough my spell check didn't catch anything wrong, wow I should stop posting with only 3 hours of sleep and all hyped up on benadryl.CKalvin said:
I know, that's what I noticed, putting what looks like a flat analog stick directly above a D-pad. Looks incredibly awkward, and you still have touch-screen controls too...Nouw said:
Ech, I'm not getting it.
I really don't understand what's so great about 3D. it's really eluding me why everything is touting 3D like it means something. It's a novelty. Like drinking lots of soda because your in the coca cola factory. But you wouldn't want to have all those coke drinks at your house. Espesically beverly ughhh.
People are so cynical here. Not all PR has a "fuck you" subtext.
Nintendo may have a more popular console and handheld system, but one thing they don't have is a television manufacturing branch, something Sony sees massive profits from. Of course they are happy with Nintendo's handheld because they have hopes when the younger generations grow up, they'll want a 3D TV. The Playstation and PSP might go away, but that doesn't mean Sony will.

The PSP is a joke mainly due to UMD and sonys lusting of proprietary formats(same for the 3DS get over using stupid limited carts use SD save everyone money and allow devs to use any amount of space they want for the game), the 2nd nub on the PSP2 should make it a bit better as far as play control goes touch screen I think is un needed but meh.Xzi said:
Yes nin did well with the NDS dose not mean I like the system that much it got smaller with each revision, no TV out, it just got harder to enjoy the few rare good games on it unlike the PSP at least I don;t have to hunch and squint tho portability wise the DS is better but I don't take it anywhere same with the PSP I like absorbing my games in a controlled environment............. alone in the dark................ with lube and latex gloves like all the fan boys do.... LOL
The PS3 is still not making a profit yet and their other divisions are not in that great a shape.Low Key said:
Nin has much lower over all costs and is able to make billions in profit..its jsut a shame they can;t make better hardware....... >>
