Nintendo have even claimed at different occasions that they temporarily don't consider the 3D in future home console. Today Nintendo told CNN again that their next home console will not support 3D.
Last two week ago, Nintendo just launched its newest console
Nintendo 3DS, and it's great timing on their part. While many argue Nintendo should have held off on the 3DS until they had a sufficient launch
line-up of quality games and all of their online features worked out, it was a needed business move.
Nintendo believes strongly in
glasses-free 3D. The company wouldn't be able to achieve this feat on their
next home console, short of shipping an innovative TV in the box, it's probably not going to do that.
"I think at Nintendo, we realize that any sort of
goggle-type 3D technology was not going to work," 3DS hardware producer Hideki Konno told CNN. "In order to make 3D technology viable with video games, we thought we needed to have glasses-free 3D."
Konno and his development group at Nintendo did experiment with a 3D display tethered to a Wii before development of the 3DS began, but purely as a proof-of-concept for glasses-free 3D.
Echoing Konno's remarls, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told CNN, "
Glasses-free is a big deal. We've not said publicly what the next thing for us will be in the home console space, but based on what we've learned on 3D, likely, that won't be it." It probably won't be 4D either - that's been done.
