3dsAs expected, Sony’s boss Kaz Hirai is nowhere near impressed with Nintendo’s new handheld, the 3DS. It’s too high maintenance for him, he says.

 

 

 

 

Talking with FT, Hirai expressed his opinion that bringing that particular technology to a handheld is ill-suited.Not to mention, there are a whole array of issues pertaining to the development of 3D handheld displays itself.

 

 

 

 

“We want to make sure we get it right as opposed to being there first and – with portables – ther’s still a lot of tweaking that needs to happen from a research and development perspectie,” he said.

 

 

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

 

Sounds like he’s just hating on it, though. What do you think? Does he have a point regarding those little humps along the 3D handheld development?
