So from what we know, we can conclude that there are two alternative possible plans by Nintendo about 3D tech:

- either it just wants to be first on profitable 3D gaming and the best choice was doing it on portables because the best tech available for them is already glasses-free

- or, like Malstrom and others claim, its hidden agenda is to disrupt Sony's 3D TV business, kindly benefitting  glasses-free 3D techs' owners, that is Philips, LG, Sharp, Hitachi and whatever else, except Nintendo that doesn't produce screens, but it buys them from others... Interesting, THIS IS A BUSINESS PLAN!!! Investing billions not having its own interests as main purpose, but to benefit other companies! Yes, yes, it can only be the second option, the first one is too outlandish...

 

Edit @TomasPL: that 3D tech by Philips you gave a link about is very interesting, I was just thinking even before reading it that a tech that overcomes parallax barrier's limits could be based on lenses, prisms, or some other optical devices. Obviously, though, they currently are a lot more expensive than parallax barrier.
