Just the wondering if people really want 3D.

I feel the same about motion controls. Do people really want them? Or do corporations just want them to be the new norm?

I think people do want 3D, after all, 2D TVs would have never existed if it was possible to create simple 3D TVs. What people want is a cheap, out of the box ready experience with standard media they can easily use.

Yah right, with fire power between 360-PS3 and a back touch pad and now 3D this console would be like 600-700$ impossible for Sony to be that stupid. Sony knows that 250-300$ is the max most consumers will pay for a handheld. Also Sony would be foolish to launch another console at a loss. Also think of battery life 3D is bound to eat alot of power and combined with the high proscessing power of the PSP2's other features what would it have a 2-4 hour battery life?

Also Sony has only half a year to complete their development of the PSP2, they don't have time to develop a glasses free screen. Look at the price of Toshiba's glasses free TV's, it just isn't viable for Sony. This time they can't logically copy Nintendo.

I want 3D.

But I want it at prices I can afford.

It isn't there yet.

Isn't that the regular battery life for a PSP?

I just love how so many posters just KNOW what's going on in the industry. They just KNOW.

I doubt his true intentions were 2 diss them. He probably meant 'I hope they correct this and make people interested in 3 d generally'. Really, it does sound like an everybody wins situation especially if sony goes for the smartphone market with a PSP phone, meaning they'd no longer compete with nintendo directly.

Having others out of business doesn't always mean more profit.  I think the Wii brought a lot of people into gaming that might now purchase a ps3 or 360 for kinect or move.

I thought it was around 8 hours with the 3000. I could be wrong at launch I believe they said if you used the PSP for watching a movie or playing a game it lasted like 5 hours, if you listened to music it lasts longer. In the end I don't use my PSP for more then two or three hours at a time, on trips I play both my DS and PSP so on a longer trip I'll play DS like 4 hours and PSP like 2 or 3.

I've never had the PSP battery die on me at least while playing. I always charge it up before every trip!

Sony should be betting on strong 3DS performance, if only to reaffirm the strength of traditional handhelds against smartphones
