Kaz Hirai of Sony Criticizes Nintendo 3DS
Kaz Hirai, the current Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, has bashed the Nintendo 3DS and its glasses-free 3D technology.
“Based off internally conducted research, naked-eye 3D for portables does not have high precision, and at present there are limitations.”
Limitations or not, 3D glasses are a dealbreaker for me. And even if Nintendo’s 3D technology isn’t as fancy as the tech Sony is offering, I’m happy to sacrifice a little “wow” factor to not have to wear bulky headgear while I play or, more importantly, buy a $3,000 TV.
It’s important to note that at the time Hirai said this, he had not yet seen a 3DS himself. Here’s to hoping he totally craps in his pants when he does.
