reason nintedo shouldn't be bashing glasses

 

Actually, VB's utter failure is exactly why Nintendo should be "bashing" glasses.  They already went down that road 15 years ago, and it clearly didn't work out.  Now they brought something better...

well technology it's from Sharp. still they did use glasses and it not close was 3d glasses do now :p certain, glassless panels will start to show in 40' in a year or so.

Sharp's 3D monitors: Look, no glasses

I said I was able to hold it comfortably in numerous positions, but I also said you have to center your view. You get about 10 degrees of tilt in any direction before there's distortion. When I said I was able to hold it comfortably in numerous positions I meant I could view it from above, in front of me, above me, and easily center my eyes on it. I also tried disabling the 3D and holding it in a comfortable way, then enabling it and discovered I had already centered it without trying. When you're holding a handheld system you center it on your own. It's automatic.

Those reports are exaggerated, but not completely inaccurate. You do get some leeway, but it's certainly not much, which is the reason glasses-free 3D doesn't work on TVs (as I pointed out earlier). I'm not trying to mislead anyone. Glasses free has this as its disadvantage, but you have to actively try to break the 3D. People don't naturally view the things they hold at warped angles. You will automatically center it, unless you try not to. I, and all the other press of course, did try in order to find where the breaking point was in the clarity of the image, but for normal play this is unlikely to be a major issue. If you, for some reason, do wish to play at strange angles at times you can always disable the 3D during those times.


Doesn't stop people from skipping over your post.

3DS will bury Bravia to the ground. Sony can keep their 3D glasses on untill then. Oh, and there is negative amount of sense to team up with deadman, so why Ninty should ever do so, lol?

Yeah, people will buy a 3DS (a handheld with a tiny screen) instead of of 3D TV (with a huge screen) for watching movies in 3D. That's pure logic...

 

...no... not really...

@ snfr

People are already buying iPad for watching their movies in comfort of their beds instead of spending crap loads of space and money for TVs. And with 3DS the bang for your back will be even louder.

Oh, and nothing prevents Ninty from releasing 3DS XL or even 3Dii when the time is right. Sony is being grilled, just accept it.

You don't know how ridiculous your comment will sound in 3-5 years.

The truth is that Sony perfectly knows glasses-free 3D will bury glasses-based one once it becomes viable for home TV, but also knowing that glasses -free isn't ready yet, wants to be amongst the first to bring 3D to the living room anyway and sell expensive 3D TV sets also during the years bbefore new techs become available. 3DS will make people more aware of glasses-free tech, so more people will wait and won't buy TVs with glasses, but people wanting 3D now for their home TV will have to accept glasses as a temporary solution.

It's just a matter of tastes and also attitude towards novelties, I know I won't buy TVs with glasses, I also still hate plasma screens even now that their worst flaws are overcome, and I hated RPTVs too, for example, but I know people that loved plasma screens even when they still were undeniably horrible and unreliable. Heck, people buy iPads even before knowing what they can use them for... ...People even bought first series Mercedes A-Class despite it being inherently unstable and needing to be stabilized electronically, my trust in people's intelligence fell more for this than for them buying 3D with glasses or early plasma screens, at least the latter two don't make you risk your life...

while I agree with you that Sony and many other LCD TV manuf. all know glassless 3D will be better than Glasses based Active Shutter. for Home theatre it is quite a way's off.

that 4k screen resolution, not to mention on the larger screen's will be quite expensive, it's atleast 5 year's or more . yes To some that may not be that far to wait but also on the same token it's still going to be more expensive than Active shutter will be then. so the point being is even Nintendo know's the Market is moving toward 3D but Also knows that right now the only real solution for Glassless 3D is going to be in the Portable market which i see only Nintendo making a real move in that Market for 3D handheld's. So Nintendo May have no challenger's in the Dedicated 3D gameing Handheld's.

An i doubt very much about Smartphone's moving toward 3D screen's so that's pretty good for Nintendo.

I like the overall message here. "Let's play nice" but for Sony to suddenly cry foul ... is funny. And why shouldn't Nintendo hit hard over the fact they can deliver 3D (With universal praise from those who've seen it) without the need for glasses? Sorry, glasses may arguably be the biggest hurdle for 3D TV's. Everyone MUST wear them, or no 3D. What if you have family over for the holidays? Want to show off the 3D. You have to pass the glasses around.

In the end Nintendo's tactic wasn't in bad taste as far as I'm concerned. And in the grand scheme of things have handled their success this gen with dignity. Thank God they didn't go the Sony route. Where every year their E3 showing was nothing more than "The Console War is over! We won this one already."

Sony is just pissed that they have invested in potentially obsolete technology.

Reminds me of UMD's.

10 year plan for psp? good luck with that.
