I dont see how Avatar made 3d a standard everyday. People can go to the cinema and fork over an extra 3 bucks thats easy, its convincing them its worthy of being used in their homes. Terrible analogy.
Im argueing against it because you seem to believe that if someone experiences 3d on a mobile device with a 3.5 inch screen they will all of sudden expect the same experience on a 55 inch screen in their home or on a 50 foot cinema screen.
3DS will not set any consumer standard because its a 3DS, its a 3.5 inch screen that people use to play videogames. I also said Sony isnt "pleased" because all of a sudden people will go buy all their 3D stuff for home theaters, the fact a company like Nintendo is embracing 3D is good overall for the market in the long term
I'm argueing against it because i firmly believe people are not as idiotic as youre implying, assuming they will expect a similar 3D experience on their 3DS as in their living rooms given the very different variables.

I have to disagree. There aren't that many differences between a 3.5 inch screen using that technology and a 60" inch screen. Cost is the major factor. Simply put, 3DS will set the standard for what people buy in their homes as that technology becomes available. The only other factor is whether or not the 3DS will be well recieved, which if E3 is any indication, it will be. The only potential detriment is if the cost of the device is more than people are willing to pay. Nintendo will drive desire and Sony will drive the technology.

Well, i thought it was obvious it was the development cost of the tech, not the lack of tech. Thats why its not possible because its absurdly expensive.

For now the cost is prohibitive yes, but that will change over the next decade....2015ish we should see a harder push. Sony's only aim at this point is to make it available and get it in the minds of gamers that they want this. They know that saturation will be slow for this, much much slower than Blu-Ray. With that stated, I think its safe to assume they are prepaired for a long term gameplan to push this entertainment medium.
I'm not arguing the common knolwedge that its cost prohibitive though, I am simply dispelling the notion that there will be no link in consumer behavior between those who buy a 3DS and those who invest in stereoscopic or autostereoscopic 3D.Nintendo will profit in its infancy, but with Blu-Ray being the new movie standard and a 3D standards having been created for it, Sony will stand to see long term gains if they play their cards right. It seems reasonable that Sony has a pretty good hand in this game.
I have to wonder, who is manufacturing those auto stereoscopic screens for Nintendo?
