At E3 2010, Nintendo’s COO Reggie Fils-Aime mocked the dorkalicious 3D glasses that movie theaters and TV manufacturers have required viewers to wear in order to achieve the stereoscopic effect. After all, with Nintendo’s new 3DS handheld, no glasses are needed. Despite the slam, it appears Sony has nothing but kind words to say about Nintendo’s different 3D venture.
Sony’s Senior VP of Marketing Peter Dille had this to say about the 3DS:
Our perspective is they are doing something different and that’s what Nintendo does. They’ve got their own view, Sony has their own view. Our hope is they do it well because we’re big advocates of 3D. We need consumers to have good 3D experiences. I actually haven’t seen much of their technology. I know people are excited about it. I’ve heard a little bit that if you move your head a certain way you might lose the image. I just hope they do a great job, building a great 3D platform so people are interested in other 3D platforms. Because, collectively, we need to make sure a consumer has a good experience with 3D however they’re experiencing it so they have an interest in more 3D.
It’s great to actually read the biggest players in the gaming industry encouraging one another instead of always competing. Nicely said, Mr. Dille.
