Answer: because the 3DS is a what, around a 4" screen verses a 55" screen.  Oh right, and nintendo's glassesless tech only supports 1 person at a time.

So a typical family movie night looks like this, one glasses TV for $3K (with prices dropping fast) or 4 3DS's (so $800 at an assumed $200 plus four copies of the movie) and watch ridiculously tiny screens.  I don't think sony is trouble nor any other 3D TV manufacture.

Throw in an extra $450 or more for 3 extra pairs of glasses.  Kinda "opens your eyes" when you start weighing $150-200 glasses versus a $200 3DS per person...

Also, we have no idea how films are going to be distributed on 3DS, but if it's digitally there may be a solution for multiple viewers.
