Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Responds To Nintendo 3DS Announcement

lol. It's like "handheld ghetto" all over again. PSP2 is so screwed...

I just want to see the price on the 3DS. I cannot be cheap to make, OLED is still relatively new and expensive. Are they willing to take a hit, financially, in order to keep the price low? =/ I will wait for E3 before I decide whether or not 3DS is awesome or not. This thread is hilariously ridiculous.

@jarrod At least wait for them to announce the damn thing before you say something like that. Makes you look ... biased.



superchunk: "So, you could take your current HD TV, depending on specs, and buy a ~$200 add on that would need to connect to a PC to run the 3D....

OR you could buy a new "3D Capable" TV and its corresponding glasses for $100-200 for each person to watch 3D movies or connect to a PS3 and play a 3D capapble game, once Sony releases the firmware upgrade to allow the PS3 to handle the 3D parameters."


Thats really insane. Too much work and or money just for a different visual experience. No thxs I will just stick with the 3ds all built-in. I am sure it will prolly be like $249.


Console are definitely not ready for 3D visual experience, only handhelds.  Games are roughly $50-60 plus tax, and u think i am going to spend money for a stupid pair of glasses OR TV making me look like a dork? Pfft yeah right.  I am so tired of the lame innovation by these giants seriously.



This was a demo released sometime earlier than the announcement. I'm not sure how connected it is to the new 3DS, but it should give a good rough outline of how different this tech will be than traditional 3D that pops out. The device will essentially look into a 3D environment, almost like opening a box and seeing the contents inside. Again, this is just a guess, but I feel this may be somewhat like what we should expect from the 3DS.

I would just like to say that Sony might be making a huge mistake again by judging the 3DS as they had with the NDS. Do note, I am quite a major Sony supporter but i have my justification.

Firstly, NDS is not only played by children. I can safely say at least 25 - 50 % of NDS users are adults, of at least 20 years of age. Still, 3D does not only appeal to adults. Kids in the current generation are much much more advanced and technologically way smarter (when it comes to technology usage). They will compare and contrast. With 3D movies mostly the rage now, kids will in a way demand and want to have 3D on their gaming device too.

Next, when the NDS first came out, I remember a lot of backlash against it and Sony did say something along the line like the DS wont succeed because it appeals to kids only while the PSP will because it has the better processor and such. I can assure you that is not very true. Graphics make part of a game depending on the situation. I myself got a PSP immediately when it came out but I did not even thought of getting the NDS. until I cant get over the urge to play pokemon and final fantasy on it. Thus i bought it. And there are so many fun games on the NDS without the top notch graphics. I was hooked on advance wars and tried to clear every single map in campaign mode.

Thus, saying the 3DS will not succeed because it appeals to a different demographics is quite I feel a grave human error. I have a feeling that the 3DS is going to succeed massively and continue on like the NDS.

Do note I am neutral when it comes to Nintendo. I have some love for it, no hate, but my love is definitely for the PS3.
