Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Manager Gives 3DS the Thumbs Up

Takashi Sensui also reveals Microsoft's own preparations for the 3D realm

 

 

 

It's always professional of rival companies to give credit where it's due, but it's even more respectable when it seems genuine. It seems that Nintendo's first steps into the 3D gaming world have garnered positive comments from a Microsoft big-cheese.

 

Speaking to the Nikkei TRENDYnet website, Takashi Sensui, General Manager of the Xbox division at Microsoft Japan, had some encouraging words when speaking of the upcoming Nintendo handheld, codenamed 3DS. When asked about the system, his reply was:

I think it is an extremely good experiment. 3D games are suited for the play environment of portable machines. It’s relatively easy to realize a 3D environment space because the viewpoint and screen distance are nearly fixed.

 

 

If it seems like Microsoft is missing out on the 3D party, gamers should know that the Xbox 360 is in fact '3D-ready'. When asked about the company's stance on 3D games, Sensui stated that:

We’re watching the situation, the Xbox 360 itself already supports 3D games, so preparations are made...

 

 

 

You might be sick of hearing it, but we're not sick of saying it. Bring on E3 2010!

Lol... they already started copying Nintendo.
Where would Sony and Microsoft be without Nintendo?
The answer is that they wouldn't have started gaming.

It's funny how you say that Sony and Microsoft are copying Nintendo when Nintendo are implimenting it into their handheld and it was announced THIS YEAR whereas, Sony and Microsoft have both been working on implimenting 3D into their home consoles for quite some time. But no, keep on badmouthing something that you didn't bother to read anything about. ;)

You have a point, but it hinges on the assumption that Nintendo hadn't been working on the 3DS before it's announcement. Just because Sony and Microsoft announced their intention to use 3D before Nintendo did, it doesn't mean that Nintendo's years of work on the 3DS mean nothing. I mean, it's not like 3D is something they could tack on at the end of development. They must have been working on it for years.

that same argument rings true for move.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

You are right, someone had to start, but then someone had to take it to perfection (PS1, and PS2).

the 360 was  in development before the 3ds, unless they started working on the 3ds around the same time they were still in development of the ds..

Actually, the same argument rings tru for everything in life.
