Forums - Sony - Sony: Nintendo Shouldn't Bash 3D Glasses

Glasses for 3D suck, but they are currently the only tech ready for home TVs, glasses-less parallax barrier screens like those used by 3DS are only good for single user application.

So the situation is a lot better for 3DS, but it's still strictly confined to the portable market, portable consoles, phones, portable media players and TVs, etc. People wont buy many 3D TVs with glasses, but they'll just have to wait to have a better 3D solution for home, 3DS, if successful, will surely push research, but in the meantime it won't be a solution forhome, people will only be able to have glasses-less 3D on portables and choose between glasses 3D or good old 2D for home TVs. Will people just stop watching TV? This would be too good to be true!

Jesus..

All he said is Nintendo shouldn't have taken jabs at the fact they are using glasses.

Why are you so defensive? My goodness.

can everyone list their top 10 3d movies.... ?

1. Avatar.
2. How to train your dragon.
3. Erm haven't seen any others!

an all too common story....

so why do we want 3d tv's again?

Honestly... We don't. Yet.

It's like when the HD craze was first starting. There wasn't many Movies or shows or anything in HD, but it got bigger, and is still growing now.

3D could be the same.

We also don't need gaming.  It's too common for people to use their personal preferences as "justification" to promote a vain and self-centered agenda

Who said anything about NEEDING?

Wanting something and needing something are 2 totally different things.

My point was, there aren't enough reasons for many people to WANT a 3D TV... Yet.

Oh, want or need I agree with you.  But the principle I was pointing out was just because I don't need/want something is no excuse to channel my hatred towards something to dismiss it such as Squilliam and Kowenicki are trying to do.  These guys have displayed over and over again that they hate SONY more than they love gaming.  So if it's SONY related, they are going to find some excuse for the rest of us to dismiss it just because "they don't want it" so it applies to the rest of us.



its a good thing i beleave in everything having the ability to sell.

yea those 2 make me hate nintendo.

i've been a nintendo fan sence the 3rd gen and never have i seen so mutch hatred.



I mean....come on. What else can they say?

"Let's work together, please don't bash us, we want the same thing.....oh and BTW, you need glasses to have a movielike experience."

Bullshit. By the time3D glasses TVs get cheap enough to own, there will be glasses-less TVs ready to go. It's already an obsolete tech, thanks to Nintendo.

The part when he said that you would forget you were wearing the glasses...I laughed and laughed.

Sony....yeah, they're screwed. Nintendo did an epic win with the 3DS, and shat in their pancakes.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'd love to know how Nintendo could possibly advertise their USP of 3D without glasses without mentioning that you don't need glasses at some point, and of course, mentioning that you don't need glasses isn't quite the same as saying 'ZOMG, 3D glasses are evil, they will rape your retina and melt your brain, burn them... wipe them from existence'... But then we gamers have always been good for incessant hyperbole.

It really is no different to Sony bigging up Blu Ray or 'teh power of teh cell' amongst many of their own USPs when all is said and done...

If I hated Sony then why did I buy a 60GB PS3 and why did I spend over $5000 USD on a 53" Bravia when they were bleeding edge technology? Why did I spend over $7,000 U.S.D. in the past 5 years on Sony products? I don't hate Sony, but I do dislike the people who blindly support Sony and get their heckles up everytime something remotely negative comes up about them and contrive various scenarios to make themselves feel better, like for instance 'Best selling 3rd place console'.



Tease.

We may have no PS4 after all if and IF Sony keeps Kaz Hirai whose ideas for making the PS4 a cutting edge gaming console will push the PS4 to a $699 and $799 respectively, then they will have no one except a bunch of vain "My system costs more than yours" Scott Alexander wannabes purchasing it.


Don't worry we have alot of apple users.

Sony shouldn't bash Nintendo so.

yeah, I can't believe some are calling Nintendo arrogant for that! It's like, the most natural thing to do with this kind of product. The message is simple, not arrogant and not directed towards Sony: "No more glasses [to see 3D]"

Don't make such an irrational conclusion. Those two are 360 dudes.
