Who does 3D best? Sony vs. Nintendo

[E6600]

[Nintendo]

Nintendo doesn't really care about 3D as something that is permanent or even necessary for gaming; it is simply technology that works for the next generation of their portable gaming systems. It's attractive because Nintendo has a standard for its 3D: every system will have the same size screen and use the same technology, and the cost to the consumer shouldn't be much more than a standard DS.

Sony, on the other hand, wants you to buy a costly new television—although prices are sure to come down—and every member of your family will of course need glasses to realize the effect. Nintendo's solution is self-contained, universal, and should be inexpensive. Sony's requires peripherals, will support different screens with evolving technology, and requires a significant investment.
Sony makes the mistake of assuming that Nintendo is interested in 3D when Nintendo is only interested in the 3DS.

New system or new living room? Sony vs. Nintendo on 3D tech

No glasses = Nintendo wins

3DTV will never take off like HD has.

No one, and I mean NO ONE will want to wear glasses (especially ones that cost $100 plus) EVERY time they watch TV.

Wont happen.

The sooner Toshiba nails their LCDs without glasses, the sooner 3D can take off.

Why rofl? Do you think HDTV didn't take off, or do you think 3D will be as big of a succes as HD is?

Both statements would be wrong.

hd is [still] not a big huge deal imo (i'm not arguing this point any further)

but that's not the point

3D will become standard

maybe not in 5 years, maybe not in 10

but eventually

anyone that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves

Who cares about people in Africa with SDTVs?

Fact is, you can't even BUY SDTVs here anymore.
