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

Oh yeah they should...

In fact i think everyone should bash 3d glasses...they sucks.



GO PATS! 2012 THE YEAR OF NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS'S 4TH SUPER BOWL!

A patriot to the end. GO PATS!

Now playing> THE LAST STORY (Wii) Best RPG I EVER PLAYED. *-*

Nintendo could u please just take my money and give me back my 3DS?!

Around the Network

I just thought of something for a moment: just image Nintendo announces their next home console with 3D support in a few years. Now think about it for a minute... yes, you got it, you WILL NEED GLASSES! I know something for sure... Nintendo-only fans will praise Nintendo and say that glasses are ok. (btw: I consider myself a Sony AND Nintendo fan)

Funny... isn't it.

Seriously, that's the reason why they shouldn't bash glasses. Of course I don't think Sony should complain about that because they bash other companies and things as well (motion controls a few years ago, for example), but that's how PR works today, it seems...

In basic terms, the 3DS is an inferior 3D experience 

Well, except in terms of color saturation, light levels, cost and 3rd party software support. ;)

If the massmarket adopts what Nintendo's vision for 3D is, they won't settle for glasses based solutions.  They'll wait it out, keep their HD TVs they just bought instead, and upgrade when the technology eventually meets their needs at a reasonable pricepoint (ie: glassless 3DTV).

Well, what really matters is that the actual 3D is better on a big screen! Also 3rd party software will be far superior with 3DTV if you count all TV channels and their 3D content. (Not sure if you class that as software?).

People will settle for glasses due to many, many advantageous of watching on a TV compared to a small gaming screen. Also, glasses aren't a huge deal to many/most. Those who buy DS's and TV's are very different people - they want different things.

Also, it's going to be too long imo before glassless 3DTVs are produced and available to the masses.

It's only logical to think that if someone plays a 3DS and are impressed, that they are then far more likely to invest in a proper 3DTV. 

It's not logical to think that someones experience with a DS will put them off buying a TV.

i will never praise glasses, if their new consoles supports 3D i am still not goiung to have a 3DTV until it is glasses free

and your wrong on your point, nintendo would not be promoting/supporting 3D glasses, they would be supporting just 3D.  How you view that 3D is up to you.  Sony on other hand MAKES 3DTV's and GLASSES, thus they promote them.

are you a moron, nobody is saying 3DS will replace home entertainment at all.  We are just saying the 3DS's idea of glasses free will hold people from purchasing a 3DTV until it is glasses free.

They aren't going to be buying their movies for 3DS, they will stilli buy them for their 2D HD tv's, they just won't adapt to 3D home entertainment due to thinking of "sooner or later a glasses free TV will be out"

But they won't, that's the huge point.

You are all thinking way too specifically - such a small % of TV buyers will have actually played the 3DS. And the 3DS' 3D will not be as good as that experienced with glasses at the cinema - so people will be in the mindset that if a glassless screen comes out it will have an inferior 3D experience.

Really, few going to hold off buying a 3DTV for over 5 years based on an inferior 3D experience they had with a gaming console and based on no evidence that glassless TV's are even coming out.

Yous do have a point and it will be true for some, but really the number of people that will be put off buying a 3DTV because of the 3DS is so tiny in the scheme of things that it's not even worth discussing.

And the moron bit was uncalled for, but I don't report.

Bolded: Well, seems there are still reasonable people. Anyway, I don't have a problem with glasses right now and I won't have one in the future.

But you're second point is not fully correct. If they support 3D they automatically support 3D with glasses. That's simply because you won't be able to buy 3D TVs which don't require glasses on the mass market and these will still have the problem of the viewing angle (you have to sit exactly in the right viewing angle). The technology that is used for the 3DS is already used in TVs, Sony knows about that technology as well just as every other TV manufacturer, but with these problems you just can't promote them right (it would actually be stupid).

It seems a lot of you are arguing about tech or random stuff about glasses and whatnot, when the basic logic is simple:

3D with glasses added 4 to 5 years into the console's life cycle- gimmick, niche.

3D without glasses that can be adjusted or even turned off by design- feature.

see how I just face pwned Sony?

I have no problem with my PS3 at all, but will I use 3D with it? fuck no.

I have no problem with the 3DS at all, but will I use 3D with it? dood it's a fucking feature built into the hardware by default lawl, of course I will!

So bashing is fine.

And if you like the idea of 3D gaming from the 3DS, and realise that a better experience could be had on your PS3?

- Anyway, bottom line is that people in here are talking like the 3DS will have a big impact on 3DTV - It won't.

i don't know what you bolded cause nothuing seems bolded, but just because their new console that would support 3D and said they won't release or use 3D until 30% market penetration, doesn't mean they Support Glasses.

They support 3D, that is it.  what you saying is like if someone makes a game for the wii that is porn, that nintendo supports porn.  no they don't.  or a tv maker puts out a tv and you can hook up vhs, blue ray, dvd, laser disc, ect.  yes they support all those formats in the sense of one definition of support, but they are not promoting the use of one over the other.


Any 3D conosle, hell 10000 years in the future could be hooked up to an old tv that uses glasses, does that mean that console maker SUPPORTS or promotes in this case definition wise glasses?  no, it is just an option that you can do.  Nintendo would be supporting 3D, that is it.  It is up to the consumer what type of 3D.  Just as sony's ps3 supports 3D, you can play iit on a glasses free 3d tv too, just sony is promoting glasses since they make them.
