I wouldn't expect Microsoft to bash the 3DS. The only comment I remember about the Wii was their famous Wii60 piece of excellent PR unless im wrong and they have been bashing them but I simply don't remember due to blocking out the terrible memory!? :-/
I don't think Pachter really based the 3DS either, he just stated that it needed more than 3D and that he didn't know what to think without any extra details.
Sony are the kind of company who'd insult their own mother if she released a competing product. No change there whether a 3DS is released or not.
Tease.
