Sony to Nintendo: Leave Our 3D Glasses Alone!

This is going to be another BluRay/HD-DVD or VHS/Betamax thing again isn't it. I hate those. Both sides, however have ignored my Patented solution the stylish, yet functional, 3D Monocle.

God. That title immediately makes me want to watch Chris Crocker again.
You're a sneaky little manipulator mr. Funk!

I'm going to have to side with Nintendo on this one. Those glasses are friggin' annoying especially if you wear glasses yourself.
Damn straight. Sony's glasses are light and even attractive, but they still suck if you wear normal glasses, too. That's not their fault, that's just how it is. Glasses over glasses ain't comfy, no matter how nice each pair is.buy teh haloz said:
3D is a fad.
But the 3DS is not going to be. You don't need any special equipment, and there'll be plenty of 3DS games that likely won't use the 3D tech.

Well we've all seen how well Sony have worked with Nintendo in the past (see the early development of the Playstation).
Anyway 3D is a fad it won't last, it won't take off with the mainstream consumer base.

The problem is that the technology used in the 3DS only works for one person at a time, not multiple people watching one screen. So if you want everyone to watch a 3D movie with you or play a 3D game you're going to need the glasses for the time being. Eventually, sure, we won't need glasses for larger mediums but I have no idea how long that will take.deth2munkies said:
Anyway, it would be pretty cool if Sony and Nintendo worked together with 3D. Then again look what happened when they worked together last time. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_%28console%29] Both 3D technologies have their place, I personally don't mind wearing the glasses even though I wear glasses already, but I would be lying if I said that I'm not interested in glasses-free 3D tech. If both Nintendo and Sony worked together on that, hell, there may be some new 3D innovation with them, who knows (I doubt they would though).
I have to wonder why people think that 3D is a "fad" now, in fact I think it has more of a place in video games than in film. There's a lot of potential in 3D technology, especially if they are implemented in games, brushing them off as a "fad" isn't going to help technology evolve and won't get us anywhere closer to "Virtual Reality".Onyx Oblivion said:
Glasses-free 3D is the only good 3D. In that point I must add-- wait, what? Sony and Nintendo working together?? Could it be?
Yup. It could be.
Yup. It could be.
I would kindly direct Yoshida to any clip of Kevin Butler, making continuous snide snipes as their competitors' technology. I don't think I've seen a single appearance of that chap that hasn't taken a cheap shot at Nintendo, Microsoft or both. This really is hypocrisy at work, people!John Funk said:
Not so long ago Sony did a TV advert mocking the Wii motion control, for boxing games in particular IIRC, compared to move. Saying that you look silly playing a Wii compared to playing move.
I believe that turn around is fair play.

This. It's more like Sony saying "Shhh, stop pointing out our flaws, we're trying to sell $4,000 televisions here, dammit!"VanityGirl said:
I don't understand why people are pointing out that the 3DS only working for one person at a time like its a bad thing. I mean, the DS is a personal device.
