Ever since Sony announced 3D Gaming would be coming to the PlayStation 3 via a simple Firmware Update, the company has been the largest supporter of 3D technology and today they are defending Nintendo 3DS and 3D gaming
Nintendo 3DS’s recently ran into bad running’s with The Sun that conducted smear campaign against the device and 3D technology it uses.
For people who do NOT know what a Nintendo 3DS is…. Its a eyeglass free Three dimensional capable version of Nintendo DSi, Which means you do not need to use a pair of 3D ready glasses to view the 3D imagery it displays.

Sony has issued a statement defending 3D gaming from glasses to just looking at Three dimensional imagery:
Firstly, this is much less of a problem than many people imagine. For example, just wearing a pair of reading glasses will cause a much larger decoupling of your focus/convergence than a typical stereoscopic image will generate. Even so, in many stereoscopic images, the subject is placed close to the plane of the screen which makes the image as comfortable to view as a 2D image. We always ensure that the separation of focus and convergence in our games is set within a comfortable range. Everybody’s eyes will have differing abilities to focus, converge and perceive 3D, in a similar way that people have differing abilities to see 2D images. It does not necessarily mean that people can’t see 3D, but perhaps that their 3D vision is not as good as others’. In our experience, we rarely come across anyone who cannot perceive 3D.
