I just love two things in this thread, number one; it suddenly doesn't matter who was first with things (tech and ideas) any more and number two; 3D was stupid and useless until Nintendo decided to use it. Gotta love Vgchartz.

It makes a hell of a lot more sense the way they implemented it than trying to tack it onto a console which doesn't have the fillrate/overall performance to do it comfortably and without the TVs to display it properly.

u know, ps3 have more than 3ds to do so, and many TVs will have tech to do it without glasses. :p

it's easier to do on a smaller device sony focus was it's console. having the tv it's only the problem but console support for it, and they already promised make ps3 compatible.

The 3DS is a completely new system whereas Sony are trying to tack on 3D to a system which is already reaching certain performance limitations to the detriment of 3D. The TV is only a part of the issue, its also about coming out with good 3D content which is made harder by the fact that developers have taken up much of the performance slack already so there isn't much room to squeeze 3D in for most games.

My opinion is that aside from GT5 which will do 3D admirably like how Halo 2 was the online gaming champion last generation it will be one of the few really good 3D experiences and it'll take a next generation console to do 3D properly.
