Analyst: 3DS’ glasses-free 3D is a “far more compelling experience”

Unlike Sony’s push for 3D gaming, the Nintendo 3DS is a handheld platform, and it doesn’t require 3D glasses to get the desired effect. The two publishers are taking different directions as far as their new technologies are concerned, but according to an analyst, Nintendo has a “far more compelling experience” with the glasses-free 3D.

So says industry analyst Scott Steinberg:

By eliminating those cumbersome glasses, allowing fans to enjoy 3D in a more natural manner, playing three-dimensional television shows and movies as well as games and doing it all in whats expected to be a cost-affordable, convenient package, well This little handheld that could make a far more compelling (and value-minded) case for the dawn of 3D visual technology than any US$ 3000 television and clunky pair of active shutter glasses.

 

Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida already said that Nintendo shouldn’t bash them for their glasses-required 3D, but from this analysts’ point of view, they have a pretty good reason to.
