Hirai unimpressed with 3DS

[KingVamp]

"We've looked at a lot of the current technologies available and all of them have an issue of perception where you have to hold the console in exactly the right place to get the 3D effect and it's a bit of a challenge to maintain that 3D perspective."

2 years later @ E3 2012,

Everyone, may I introduce you to PSP 3D ... it's totally unlike our competitors, since now, you don't have to maintain the 3D perspective, and because of that everyone can see and enjoy what your're playing. We achieved this with the help of ...

PSP Shades! A special 3D glasses that only cost 90USD per pair and the best thing is, it's compatible with ALL your Sony Bravia 3DTVs. No tilting, no uncomfortable and tiring position. That's what we call real 3D experience

*Stunned*
*Slaps*

I can see something like that happening

With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that.

My point was, Sony has said that the past few innovations my Nintendo have been crap, then they have been proven wrong. I am reasonably sure that this will happen again. No doubt in 2014 when the 3DS is the highest selling handheld ever, the new PSPGo3D will be announced.

Miyamoto seeing the PSPGo for the first time...

Wii motion controls a gimmick, say Sony, followed a few years later by the Playstation Move.

Touch screens a gimmick, will never catch on, say Sony. PSP2 almost certain to feature touch screen.

3D handheld gaming a gimmick, say Sony. How long before they're playing catch up on this as well?

Also, Sony lecturing Nintendo on how to make a handheld system have long lasting appeal. Yeah, good luck with that. How are those UMD games and films selling?

Of course Sony would say anything to put the 3DS down. They have nothing new to compete against it and are falling behind. Until they bring out their own 3D handheld.

 

[Gwaith]

Come on, what did you expect from the boss of a competing enterprise?

Should he say: "Wow the 3DS blew my mind and our E3 conference sucked ass + we have nothing up our sleeves!"

He has to trash talk to make nintendo look bad, it's more or less part of his job

.

Real time changing of weapons.

Sony PR fail time and time again.

 

[Saddamsdevil]

I believe sony was in fact boasting about being the only one in the market who would "provide a serious gaming experience using real 3d" (with glasses

)

Might have misquoted that, but sony, well done, you made yourself look like a BIGGER asshat.

I hope the game developers pull a rockstar on Sony and start developing for other gaming systems.. you know... GOOD ones.

 

[Fishaman P]

It's a hand held system, almost everyone is going to hold it in about the same position anyway, about 1 foot in front of your face.

And you aren't allowed to tilt it. So you can't use the tilt sensor.

Untrue. Several people at the E3 have said that pretty much any way you tilt the 3DS, you can still see the 3D just fine.

Why do they still bother saying bad stuff about Nintendo's newest products? Everything Nintendo produces becomes popular, Sony steals the technology, marks theirs as being better, and tries to profit a little from it. They have never been right about anything they say about one of their rival companies, and just try mocking them all in the vain hope someone won't buy said product, just because THEY say it's bad...

 

[Bladexdsl]

Sony's boss

'Nuff said.

yep that's a good enough reason to get the bullshit detector out...checking readings now OMG

 

[jonesman99]

I must say that after watching the All 3 Major Conferences (M$, Nintendo, and Sony) unbiased, Nintendo REALLY stood out. They didnt center their conference around one simple thing, but rather talked about every thing that was going on. M$ and Sony either just talked about Natal or Move pretty much the entire time.

But M$ in my book did come out ahead of Sony, not only because Kinect may one-up EyeToy and may be better supported than such, but also they didn't bash the other companies and what they were going to present.

Nintendo talked about their new games as well as their new console, as well as demos, with class, dignity, stats and self-humor.

At the end of the day, haters are gonna hate, and then speculate on what the others make and then imitate.

 

[Mr.Positive]

Everytime Sony talks shit about Nintendo, they end up being horribly wrong. And then they up using Nintendo's ideas. And then claim their version is completely different.

Seriously, how many more times is this going to happen?

 

[GentleFist]

It's a hand held system, almost everyone is going to hold it in about the same position anyway, about 1 foot in front of your face. It's not like a TV where you're going to be spread around a room at different angles. I would say that a hand held is the perfect system to do 3D on.

doesn't it have a gyro sensor?

and also camera, mic to blow into, touch screen~
its gonna be hard to hold it in place^^

not saying the 3d wont work but i dont think your right, and also when u play with friends you move over sometimes to look at your friends screen over his shoulder etc..

do you expect a companys boss to say that the product of another company is better than their own?
when they are asked about what they think about this product and that product they have to defend themselves somehow~

All I really have to say about this thread....

This happens all the time, and you shouldn't be surprised about it. After all, Nintendo and Sony are true rivals. If not Nintendo, Sony PlayStation won't exist. However, if Nintendo's plan with Sony didn't fall apart, I doubt Sony would bear so much hatred on Nintendo. Industries are going personal nowadays.

In years to come, Sony would probably say they'd patent Nintendo's 3D tech LONG BEFORE 3DS was annouced and claim it as theirs ... like how they do with Move. But who believes ... seriously?

Well, regardless of who's innovating first with the 3DS stereoscopic 3D; it's the presentation (which we've seen) and the eventual execution that matters now. I personally agree with Hirai's "High Maintenance" stance at the moment, because the E3 3DS was and still is a prototype, the mainstream model is still a ways off. Eventually, as Hirai, implicitly suggests it shouldn't matter how you hold the handheld. If Nintendo can make the transition to correct this flaw, then I have no doubt that this will become the most successful handheld, regardless of whether sony tries to market it's own device.

 

[zuron7]

Sony are just jealous that they just can't seem to beat Nintendo.
They copied the Wii and now I'm definite they will plan to copy the 3DS.
Sony is nothing but a china.

 

[tk_saturn]

It's possible Hirai is right.

However he's forgotting the 3D screen can be turned off. Also because the games themselves are coded for 3D, there's nothing stopping Nintendo replacing the screen with something better when that comes along.

Sharp released a 3D monitor in 2004 using the same technology. The Technology is mature.

Sony are also making a massive deal out of 3D on the PS3, even though it can't really do it decently as it has to halve the resolution. Make your mind up Sony, and you can be guarenteed 3D on the NDS will be better than on the PS3.
