IGN: One of the things I've noticed about the 3DS is that the only way you can see 3D is when you hold it vertically. When you hold it sideways, in "book form," it doesn't work. Do you think this is going to be the end of book form? A lot of developers make games that way, but you won't get 3D that way. Do you see that as hurting the system's potential?
Konno: I think that not all software developed for the 3DS has to support 3D. And I think that the latest technology may still be able to support 3D effects, even when held in book form -- but to support 3D in any direction would introduce incremental costs, and that would lead the 3DS to be a very expensive machine that people wouldn't be able to have access to. So we thought that for this opportunity and this machine, we need to not support the book mode.
If I was still a software producer, though, I think I'd instantly go back to the hardware team and tell them to include vertical 3D as well. (laughs) "It's just another few bucks!" I'd say. But I was the person to make judgments on those issues as well, so considering all the costs and circumstances I made a decision not to support it.
Does that sound like it will cost much? To me it sounds like they are makign sure it is at a mass marketable price
