Yes the 3DS is a threat to 3D TV's but not as a direct competitor.

Imagine this situation.

Next christmas, the prices of 3D TV's are fairly cheap. Your average family might be thinking of buying one with more content and cheaper prices. Now what is the main downfall of 3D? The glasses.

I don't care what anyone says, the glasses ARE a major sticking point for this new, sudden push for old tech. I will often be doing something else while watching tv and I don't think I'll ever want to wear those glasses while on my laptop or doing dishes or playing poker with the football on in the background.........

See the problem?

The glasses.

Now back to our family who are thinking about getting a 3D TV......

As Mr and Mrs Average are eating christmas dinner and discussing wheather or not to pick up a 3D TV in the January sales, little Johnny and his friends are making quite a bit of noise playing with one of his new presents. They wander over and he shows them what all the noise is about. 3D! No Glasses.

Now going on the fact that most people out there aren't too up to date with technology, they will surely assume that this amazing little device will lead to a similar display on a TV very soon.

Bang! There goes another sale of a 3D with those stupid glasses.

Two things don't have to perform the same function to be competitors.

If I woke up and saw kids playing with brand new hover-boards tomorrow I sure as hell would put off buying a new car!

According to Back to the Future, when Marty travels to the future in June 2010 we already have hover-boards... I guess you didn't get your pre-order in?

yup those are going to be sleeping for quite some time, hey why is'nt glassless 3D HDTV screen's not

here yet..because their not cheap enough yet...sleep's for another 3 year's..how about now?

goes back to sleep when they still find out it's still over $6,500.00..meanwhile many people are still enjoyoing 3D content for the Past 3 year's on Active Shutter home theatre system's.
