Hmm it would work with Wii cus glasses free 3D TV is small and cannot do 1080p. But then how are you going to see anything if you are playing from a distance?

You can see 3D TV's from a distance, but of course you have sweet spots because it doesn't need glasses.

It's a 3DS on steroids!

I meant if you are playing some sports game and are using the motion controllers. The screen is too small for that.

True, but remember we haven't always had big ass TV's like nowadays. A 24" screen was like the average size were the typical PS2 gamer played.

Where did that come from?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

just like apple: outdated, white and overpriced.



thats a Mac screen no?



Do not want!

and i highly doubt anything like this will ever exist, fixed/very limited TV size choices, more technical issues (more things that could break), features being shoved down peoples' throats (what if i don't want a 3D TV?), not being able to upgrade easily/cheaply ..etc

Real consoles FTW!! :D

Why is "ATI graphics" listed as a feature? The console has graphix! Woot!?

 

Is the Wii built into the TV or is it the other way? Either way, it's bad bad bad!

 

The 3D camera made me think though. I mean, wouldn't 3D cameras built into 3DTV's be a nice feature?



$600 wouldn't even cover the cost of an autostereoscopic 3D display; defintely not a 24" one.

A 24" version of the same type of Sharp manufactured autostereoscopic display used in the 3DS wouldn't be ideal either due to its parallax barrier, which would only make it suitable for single player desktop use. Desktop use and motion controls don't exactly go hand in hand.

But all that aside, since this is just a hypothetical "wouldn't it be cool" post and mock up: I would definitely pay $600 for the product described in the OP if the display had a video input of some kind (which it probably would for plugging in an external video source for watching movies).

I would buy one just for the 3D display alone to be used as a computer monitor or as a display to watch BD 3D movies at my desk. 

It would be a bargain even without the console inside the display.

And no, Nintendo would never sell something like this because they would have to charge Apple prices to make it profitable which would make the price tag considerably more than the lowball price suggested in the OP.

For reference, Sharp's LL-151D 3D autostereoscopic display  (15" 1024x768) costs about $500 as of last year, so do the math.

While it would be neat, it would serve no function if the "ordinary TV" didn't have 3D output.

Where would you be viewing your 3D images? On a separate 3D display?

Unless I'm very much out of touch with prices, $600 for a 3d tv alone would be considered too good to be true, much less including a console and all the other stuff for that price too.

But this is a "small" 24 inches screen. Imagine a 3DS sharp screen, only 10 times bigger.

And the hardware inside would be comparable to the PS3 as the 3DS is to the PSP.

600 for everything seems ok !!!

No it doesn't, 600 bucks for a high-end game console that includes stuff like a camera as well as an actual 3D TV is impossibly low.

Oops, don't know what I meant with "ordinary" tv's, lol. It should have said 3DTV's...
