Comparing the Nintendo 3DS with 3D HDTVs in general is an apples and oranges argument.

It's basically arguing whether those who would pay for a 3D experience would rather watch it in their living rooms on a 40" display like a regular TV, or a sub 4" screen in their hands.

Glasses or no, the portable experience does not replace the living room experience. As much as I was impressed with the 3DS, I feel it was pretty pointless for Nintendo to even make the comparison. It's like saying why watch Avatar in 3D in an IMAX theater when you can watch it on a 3.5" screen instead (no glasses!!!).

As for these wish/claims that Nintendo can or will show the world how glasses free 3D is done in the living room; you can stop. As it's already been mentioned, Nintendo doesn't make TVs. They don't even make the 3D displays that make the 3DS possible.


again, most people won't know this, most people are not tech savvy, they will see it happening on Nitnendo's 3DS at a fraction of the cost, and wonder why their bigh TV can't do the same thing
