This may be true but it won't be due to the 3DS per se. In it's current form the 3D used in the 3DS apparently isn't suitable for the large screens typical in living room TVs. They are going to have to find another way.

Ahhh I didn't know about that 3DS info. But it could be possible in let's say the next 2-3 years for the the 3DS tech to evolve and become applicable for consoles.

the tech people are assuming the 3DS uses requires a camera and can only create 3D effects for a single person at a time, not exactly the kind of tech anyone would want for a at famlily home TV.  there certainly are glassesless techs that will work for mulitple users for at home TVs,...it just cost ~10 times that of the glasses tech even after you factor in the cost of 4x glasses.

i don't mean to be rude but there is a reason sony/samsung/lg/ect are all bringing glasses based 3D to the home...it's the only tech that's economically feasible at the moment.  nintendo get's a bit lucky with the fact that a handheld system has a ~4" screen and only one person looking at it at a time.  eventually we will indeed have glassesless 3D for the home but you're going to have to wait about 5-10 years to buy one at a reasonable price.
