They have a real oppertunity here, make it cheap, make it cool, make the games cheaper. the issue is the mass consumer dont give a toss about hardware specs, it could have a 3.5 hour battery vs an 8 hour battery, but the mass consumer dosent read the small print. so its a moo point imo.

if people are made aware that your not meant to play in 3D for more than 30mins at a time, and 3D can affect the development of children's eyesight. then they're is a serious weapon on their side. but imo, there is nothing Sony have to compete with 3D technology. i would say a price point of $150.


While you actually have valid points, much better in the op, wouldn't you argue that sony telling consumers 3D is bad for you.....a horrible move, since sony has 3D products. 

Added Note: The warning that nintendo gives, is based on the fact of 3D products, not their 3D products.

I'm not saying Sony has to inform consumers of this flaw, but this information should be on the box of every 3DS - like when you buy cigerattes. but i didnt think of that when i posted actully, so yes it would be dumb, because they're also trying to sell 3D products.

i'm still not sure about 3D, because people can go to see a film like Avatar for 2 hours 30 mins, so i think these concerns might be unforunded. however there could be long term damage to eyes, like say over 1 year, that you would occur over prolonged use.

either way, theres nothing i think they can do tbh, 3DS is going to be huge, and it has enormous 3rd party support. i have no idea what the PSP2 could do against that. unless it has 3D as well. and is cheaper at the same time.


I agree with your statement, the problem really is, sony tries to be in the middle of nintendo and apple, in the handheld market. Apple area is all covered, and nintendo is a really tough cookie. I think they should find a strong niche, and stick with it. Nothing wrong about being 2nd place and still be profitable. 

Honestly speaking I wonder why nintendo made the 30 minute warning, I guess it is like those warnings stand back from the screen, or warnings that can be found on the first page of every manual of every game.
