I think naming the device the "3DS" is a bit of a hint as to what the console is about. I seriously doubt there will be the slightest bit of confusion in that department, even among those who aren't familiar with the product.

However, I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of consumer confusion over the difference between shopping for a 3D capable big screen HDTV and a little handheld console that plays 3D games on a 3.5" screen. Apples and oranges.

Anyone who actually uses a 3DS and sees how the 3D effect is limited to a narrow viewing angle, won't have to be terribly savvy to realize that a large version of the display used by the 3DS simply wouldn't be viewable in 3D by anyone without a near perpendicular viewing angle.

Alhtough buying a 3DS for everyone in a typical family would still be less than a 3DHDTV and glasses for everyone in that family, even when the prices go down.

yes but glasses prices will also go down

How does that counter my statment? I didn't imply only the 3DS and 3DHTVs would go down in price.

i wasn't countering

 

just saying that buying for each member of the family wouldn't cost $150 a piece so it will be much easier and anyways you have pay more for the bigger experience

I was counting both the glasses and the TV. See the bolded part.
