Well part of the problem isn't the issue of "claims". Apple, Sony, MS, HB, IBM, Nintendo............... all have substantial R&D. It could be very well that Sony has worked on 3D lcd in there R&D before Nintendo has. That however isn't the point. What it really comes down too is. Who is willing to actually take the chance to develop such technology into a given field. Sony hypothetically speaking may have stereoscopic screens, but that doesn't mean Sony has ever intended to use it for games or even planned to bother creating a product using it.
So the question arises. Do you credit a company for developing the tech, but never release it or do you credit the company that figure out how to make it work and actually releasing it?
Fans of either side of the fence will vote that there take is the important one, but personally I believe that if the tech was made and sitting for 20 years in the R&R and some other company releases the tech. Then it's the the released company that deserves the credit. Simply because we would have never gotten to use the tech otherwise.
In other words. In hypothetical land. Yes Sony has made 3d LCD, but they didn't think customers would want it and never planned to have the PSP use it ever.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
