The 3DS is already behind the PS Vita in regards to hardware.
Have you played a PS Vita in 3D?
You do realize that all the Vita needs to display stereoscopic 3D is a plugin supporting it and a pair of cyan/red glasses, right?
Just a personal question, would you play with the glasses on? ;)
Yep. I see no problem at all in wearing 3D glasses in a cinema, why would I mind on a couch?

Better than having to hold it at specific distances.

Also I don't think anyone gave a shit about 3D gaming until Nintendo said "WE HAVE a 3D CONSOLE", then people thought it was like Christ turning water into wine. Except the water was ideas that had been around for a while and the wine was just Nintendo using those ideas which of course makes them TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

It really is a matter of marketing indeed.

3D screens are nothing new - I've seen them on mobile phones WAAAAY back and nobody seemed to herald it as the ushering of a new era. Nintendo does it and all of a sudden "gaming has changed".

It had indeed, which is why I say that it's not CPU-intensive THAT MUCH. The difference between the PSP plugin and the 3DS is that the 3DS cuts the rendered scene into slits and directs them to each eye while the PSP plugin checks which models are in the foreground, which are further and approprietly colours them, making them appear 3D.

No body gave a shit about 3D gaming because prior to the 3DS it was done rather shittily on the PS3

"Nintendo always does this".

Just like the Gamecube and N64. Underpowered pieces of shit.
you can add the SNES to that list, it was the superior console back then
but it succeeded unlike the gmc and n64
The Gamecube suprisingly turned in a profit, so in all factuality, the N64 was a "bigger flop" despite having a "better library".

As far as the SNES is concerned, it was not all THAT superior - you're forgetting about the lesser-known consoles like the Jaguar or the Genesis + Add-Ons which was admittedly more powerful then the SNES.

And the 3DS does it great by completely ruining the 3D effect if you move a nanometer to either side.

Which is quite peculiar as this is supposed to be a portable, played on the go. You sort of... "move" on the go.

It was an interesting concept that we didn't really need to want before it was presented to us. That said, I don't think anyone bought it just for the 3D except those who thought it was a DS revision with added 3D (commonly called the 3D DS). Personally I don't care about the 3D, but it's nice to have, I guess. Innovative, but not worth being the main draw of the system imo, though I can see why I they did it.

N64. Underpowered ????????????????????????? and shit

wtf did i just read
You did not detect the joke. At all.

Oh really? Or are you saying this because Jaguars sometimes have issues NOW, YEARS after they were released?

Fact are that they had high specs for the time. Shitty library, but we're talking hardware here. To keep up, Nintendo had to put graphics chips ON their cartridges just to prolong the SNES's life cycle. They added *hardware* to *cartridges*.

Despite the fact that the PS3 has offered the most innovative use of the technology to ever hit gaming. 3D splitscreen is fucking awesome.

Oh and the 3D is fine and it was far from "shittily" done.


That was a joke too.

nah, you cant even consider the 3DO, CDi, Jaguar as gaming consoles... they were a joke


Everyone knows the SNES was the Sega Genesis of its generation.
I'm still puzzled by your post Guild

I think it's more a matter of "not enough people had/wanted to shell out the money for a 3D TV and glasses" than it actually sucking.

It very well could have just been my eyes or the type of glasses I was using, but I was far from impressed in the 3D on the PS3 games I played.

Guild is right, PS3 had incredible 3D. I really hope they push 3D next gen.
