Most likely a crow pie. The Nintendo 3DS will sell well and Nintendo will get a lot more publicity about their ability to put glass-less 3D on a hand-held device, while Sony and others are raping consumers' wallets for a 3D home entertainment experience.
Sony cannot "make believe"and hide their anger. This is why the denial and rationalizations are in printed media. They missed the wave, view the 3DS as changing expectations for a 3D experience, expect the expectations to hurt their 3D business, and when asked about it, they brush it off like a defense lawyer who knows he is going to lose a case.
Sony is disappointed. I have no question about that. How much the expectations will change regarding what someone should pay for a 3D home entertaiment experience in comparison with a $300 Nintendo 3DS with a glass-less 3D experience is yet to be determined.
I think after the 3DS, the arms race to replicate a glass-less 3DS experience on big screen televisions will amp up to absurd levels. Sony better have their finances straight because trying to beat out Toshiba, Panasonic and all other television makers alongside the other competition in their diverse array of products could really put them in dire straights.
