As probably the only person around here who's used 3D on the PS3 and 3D on the 3DS extensivel (maybe the only person who's done either) I can tell you it's a pretty big difference. Those shaded 3D glasses you're going to be wearing to use 3D on consoles dulls the picture, and are especially noticeable and uncomfortable if you, like me, wear glasses already.

The 3DS is the most clear and crisp 3D I've ever seen, and there's zero image or color distortion. Obviously this requires you to somewhat center the image from your viewpoint, but I was able to hold it comfortably in numerous positions and get a zero-distortion picture. Whether Sony is happy about it or not, at the moment Nintendo has a technology that is better than their 3D technology, and cannot be used on 3D TVs because of the distortion from non-centered viewpoints.

It's too bad, but 3D with glasses is not a comparable experience, at the moment, to what the 3DS offers. It's not as comfortable, and it's not as effective.

Edit: As for people touting glasses-free TVs, those do not function. You have to be within 10 degrees of the center of the TV to get a clear picture on them, which obviously makes their use in a living room setting... well, nonexistent. Those will never take off under current technology used in them. They are trash.

That's great! I was thinking that the 3DS would have a"worse" 3D than the one those awful glasses offer - thinking that that was the price you had to pay for not using them.

Then the 3DS has the best of both worlds (quality and confort)! It'll be huge indeed, now I'm even more sure of it.
