Sony: Glasses-less 3D lacks precision, has limitations
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
“Based off internally conducted research, naked-eye 3D for portables does not have high precision, and at present there are limitations.” – Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai
Although I’ll admit that the 3DS’ technology has issues like a narrow viewing angle, based on the feedback from E3, I’d say the good outweighs the bad. Not only can you take your 3D gaming experiences anywhere you go, but you also don’t to hassle with 3D glasses.

Iwata hints at 3DS price
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Update: According to analyst Michael Pachter, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told him that it costs “a lot more” to make a 3DS than a DSi and that Nintendo doesn’t intend to lose money on the hardware.
There were two pieces of information Nintendo failed to mention about the 3DS at E3: A date and price. It’ll probably be a few months before we hear about either of those two details, but Nintendo president Satoru Iwata provided a hint regarding how much the handheld will cost. Because of the system’s graphical enhancements over the DS, new camera, features, and improvement in overall technology, it seems logical to assume that the 3DS will be priced more heavily than past Nintendo portables. According to Iwata, it’ll cost more than the current DS, which probably means it’ll set consumers back at least $200.
“I have to refrain from talking specifically about the price point. What I can confirm is that, in terms of the production costs, it will cost more than the costs for the Nintendo DS today. Having said that, we believe we will produce enough value worthy of the production cost. We do not think we have to sell the products below cost.”
