Sony: Nintendo Shouldn't Bash 3D Glasses

I just thought of something for a moment: just image Nintendo announces their next home console with 3D support in a few years. Now think about it for a minute... yes, you got it, you WILL NEED GLASSES! I know something for sure... Nintendo-only fans will praise Nintendo and say that glasses are ok. (btw: I consider myself a Sony AND Nintendo fan)

Funny... isn't it.

Seriously, that's the reason why they shouldn't bash glasses. Of course I don't think Sony should complain about that because they bash other companies and things as well (motion controls a few years ago, for example), but that's how PR works today, it seems...

i will never praise glasses, if their new consoles supports 3D i am still not goiung to have a 3DTV until it is glasses free

and your wrong on your point, nintendo would not be promoting/supporting 3D glasses, they would be supporting just 3D.  How you view that 3D is up to you.  Sony on other hand MAKES 3DTV's and GLASSES, thus they promote them.

This is pretty much how I see it as well. Sony are a TV manufacturer, they are directly responsible for putting the 3DTVs that need glasses out there, so they are promoting the use of that method even if they do know something better may come along in 5 years or so. Nintendo meanwhile, they're not a TV manufacturer, they're completely at the mercy of Sony and others when it comes to how their content is viewed. They have no control over how people would view their games in 3D. So yeah, they'd be supporting 3D, but they would not be pushing a particular type of 3D. If there's only one way to watch 3D content (i.e. with glasses), then that's just the way it is and there's literally nothing Nintendo can do about that.

Of course it's all likely to be moot anyway. Nintendo have repeatedly stated that they will wait for 3D penetration to hit ~30% of the market, and I'd wager that we will have glassesless 3DTVs by then anyway.
