Gotta love Vgchartz. First of all, Sony is not the god or creator of 3-D. If you want to get technical, Nintendo actually implemented it first in gaming with the Virtual Boy. Yeah it sucked but that's besides the point. What 3-D has Sony done so far? Second, I have nothing against 3-D. What I do have problems with is forking out $1500 on a 3D TV when I just bought an HDTV and wearing stupid glasses to play 3-D games. Third, I guarentee you 3-D won't be the only feature of 3DS knowing Nintendo. It will probably have other unique features as well, like a mic, voice recognition, camera, accelerometers, touch control, who knows.. But 3-D won't be its only feature, just like dual screens wasn't the only feature for the DS when they first announced it.

First point; I never said they were nor did I claim they've done anything 3D yet. You think I see them as a god? Explains why you wrote with such fire and brimstone in the first place. Fyi, I am a PC gamer at heart and have been for at least five years or so.

Second point; I never said you (Metallicube specifically) did, but go back and read the 3D news stories that came before the 3DS announcement, lots of laughs and shaking of heads over how silly it is to be thinking about 3D yet. 3D will be as big as HD, the sales of 3D cinema tickets has exploded here in Europe and is still climbing towards the sky.

Third; again; where did I claim that? You seem to be deciding everything I think and are putting words in my mouth.

My point is; this site has been running rampant with "who was first" threads with accusations of copying all over the place but now that is suddenly irrelevant, it doesn't matter who was first (which, comically enough is something I agree with 100%). And the whole notion of 3D was scoffed at as some crazy, way too early tack-on for HD consoles and HDTV's, not 3D pertaining specifically to TV's and home consoles but the tech as a whole and now it is suddenly not only brilliant but innovative (yes, its a handheld, its still hardly a smashing innovation to implement already existing technology into a different product).

The worst part is, I'm actually somewhat excited about this device and what it can do but the double standards in here makes me sick sometimes.

just like sony isn't copying nintendo.

it's apply different technology to produce the same outcome just when it's nintendo doing it it's innovation.

tilt control / rumble used in games have been in nokia , sony ericsson phones, nintendo it's using it a handheld  console where nokia/se, main focus was phones though many games used the feature.

Well, you better have bought a 3D capable TV (and there are only a handful of choices) or you'll be wearing those crappy red/blue glasses which aren't the kind that Sony is pushing for.

tilt and rumble gaming in before sony copies nintendo.

sony did it before :p, same for 3d, console firmware ready to be released, and 3d was called useless by many here, when it's looks and work better on a OLED 3d screen with HD graphics.

and the technlogy exist for TV that don't require glasses.

Indeed... it's quite rare to see a 3D-ready TV for sale around here.

Some people think all 120 Hz TVs are 3D-ready which is also bound to cause some disappointment...
