Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo 3DS last week in Los Anegles at E3. The new handheld successor to the DSi. With it comes the technology to power 3D without the use of wearing glasses. Reggie (President of Nintendo of America) made comments poking fun at gaming companies requiring the use of 3D glasses and downplayed their necessity. Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president, Shuhei Yoshida, didn’t appreciate those comments.

“I have hope that they have a broader perspective with 3D,” Yoshida said in an interview with IGN. Many of Sony’s game studios are working on 3D titles for PlayStation 3 that require glasses. “When you listen to what they are saying about the effect of 3D perspective to the games, they are saying the same message we are, but they don’t have to bash some small part of what the other company is doing,” he added.
