MARCUSDJACKSON said:

they both have something to loss if it fails and nintendo can take all the credit (cause thats whts going to happen even if sony works with them) if it succeeds eventhough sony talked 3D first.


Have you ever heard of the Virtua Boy?

Ironically, those were some huge glasses!

Firstly. Explain how Avatar is the highest grossing movie ever.

Secondly. Glasses 3D is currently the only way (as far as i know) that people can watch 3D stuff at the pictures or at home. If nobody liked wearing the glasses, we wouldn't be having a big 3D craze right now. Would we?


Firstly. Its made by the guy who made the previous highst grossing movie ever.

Secondly. We're having a 3D craze at theatres, not at home. The cost of entry difference is quite staggeringly different. It costs an extra $2 per person or so for 3D whereas at home it costs an entirely new high end TV and a pair of $150 active shutter glasses beyond the first two.

Firstly. The 2 films are in totally different genre's. One is about an actual event in our history, one is about blue aliens running around a huge forest planet thing and flying some flying thing to the story of Pocahontas. I refuse to accept what you say as an excuse.

Secondly. My point still stands.

I was calling Nintendo's bashing of glasses arrogant.

Oh, I see.

But why would it be arrogant? Agressive maybe, but arrogant?

Because people like wearing glasses.

They don't have the right to bash it, just because they think there version is better. They are being arrogant.

People like wearing the glasses for 3D?

Come on. You can do better than that.

Didn't cinema operators drug the public to make them not notice they were putting glasses on their noses? 

Why was i never offered drugs?

You are part of the minority willing to wear glasses, no need to waste precious drug!

You are part of the minority willing to use glasses, no need to waste precious drug!

I actually really dislike wearing them.

I just wanted to call Nintendo arrogant for once

Who said anybody liked the glasses?

In case you're actually serious, I'll explain:

There's a huge difference between liking 3D, and liking the glasses you're forced to wear to watch 3D. People may like the former, but there's no way to tell if they like the latter (I think it's pretty safe to say, that would be a tiny group).

It's like pretending that the PS2, the best selling home console ever, sold because people like wired controllers. Then, imagine Nintendo coming around and being the only one offering wireless controllers, and advertising the fact that "Our controllers are better! There are no more cumbersome wires to trip or get tangled up on!"


... Then, out comes VGC member Carl2291, making his thoughts known: "Arrogance! Some people like the wires!"

Firstly: The plot is actually irrelevant and so is the genre. They both are both just love stories with disasters of various kinds, voyages of discovery and pretty computer generated graphics that make people say 'wow'.

What point? That 3D is hardly selling in peoples homes? Yah ok.



Tease.

The only problem is the 3D technology they are using is totally different.

The lenticular stuff the 3DS uses as of now just can't be made for huge TV screens and movie theaters... Thats why Sony is trying to go ahead and push 3D as it is right now, they want the idea of 3D to reach mainstream.

In the future we will have glasses-free 3D technology in our living rooms too, but it will take quite a few years for it to be developed.

The only way to have it right now, is in a portable actually.

Firstly, i disagree.

Secondly... So? It's doing big stuff at the pictures.
