I must admit, this whole 3d thing has me thinking about some kind of holographic display, which would be quite impressive. I've only bought Nintendo DS as gifts, but I'll have to get a 3ds for myself if it meets my expectations.

Though I wonder if Sony will also be accused of "copying" nintendo even though they were the first out of the three to really hype up 3d gaming.

Now, I'll have to put Nintendo as the most intriguing E3 showing this year. I'm very curious.

considering development time for a new console, it's likely that N was working on this new DS before the whole "we'll patch the PS3 for  3D" thing... then again the pioniers that made it popular for gaming in 3D is Nvidia on PC, not sony, nor nintendo... who don't have a single game out so far.

Considering that the PS3 was built to run 3d already, I would say that idea and decision to patch every PS3 with 3d support was hardly an overnight decision. Sony has been demoing their 3d tech at game shows for quite some time now, not to mention that sony has been heavily invested in IMAX and 3d televisions.

Regardless, you're right. Nvidia was the first to really test the market with 3d technology in gaming.
