These are two separate things. The second is not really 3D since you only get that effect when you move your head.
It won't be lenticular, it will be parallax barrier. Looks a lot like this without the shaking from side to side.

I'm thinking it will end up being parallax barrier also. It would be a fantastic way to go without the problems that lenticular would bring.
I'm also thinking 200 or less price point.
Nintendo seems pretty dead set on making sure none of their handhelds are more than that.

Wedbush Morgan analysts Michael Pachter has told CVG that the just-announced Nintendo 3DS will need to have more of a "breakthough in gameplay" than just a 3D display - otherwise other firms like Apple will simply mimic it.
Pachter mused over how Nintendo might achieve 3D without the use of glasses. "I don't understand the technology behind a 3D display that doesn't require glasses. If it's so easy to do, why would Samsung put out 3D HDTVs that require glasses? My guess is that Nintendo has figured something out that is either very cool and advanced, or is a gimmick, and until I see it, I really won't know."
Pachter went on to comment: "What's interesting to me is that Nintendo is so bold. It seems that if 3D on portable devices was easy, Apple would have beat them to it. If they truly pioneer a technology, my guess is that Apple will mimic the technology. Without a real breakthrough in game play (as happened with the DS), I'm not sure that this device will do much more than serve as a replacement for current DS owners."
What do you reckon, readers? Is 3D enough to get you excited for a new (probably more powerful - considering it's confirmed to be the "successor" to) DS?
Nintendo this morning revealed the 3DS which it plans to release by the end of March 2011. Which is excitingly soon, by the way.
Oh, Pachy.
Why? Why does someone supposedly versed in business get to say stuff like this?
If Nintendo can convince every current DS owner to give them another $200, then Nintendo's venture is a rousing fucking success! Once you've cornered the market and strangled every competitor, there isn't 'much more' Nintendo could do then just shoot for the same results again!
I'll agree that the PSP2 will have a tough, tough fight ahead of it. It'll go up against a handheld that has a huge momentum behind it AND a "hook" that will likely draw in casuals like crazy, not to mention the fact that the PSP has managed to generate a kind of anti-momentum based on software sales. Not to mention that the huge launch of the PSP Go resulted in a resounding "meh" from the general audience, so there's a danger the audience will automatically go "meh" again unless Sony can really pull a rabbit out of their hat and make the PSP2 awesome in some way.
But how? I'm not really sure just having portable media capabilities will cut it nowadays, now that the iPhone and other smartphones do that just fine. Price might help, but let's face it, the lesson Sony took from the $600 launch of the PS3 was to re-launch the PSP at a $80 premium.
Something interesting to note: apparently Walmart is doing pre-orders now. Buh? When did that happen? Not only that, but they're offering pretty aggressive pre-order bonuses of a $20 credit when you pre-order Mario Galaxy 2 or Halo Reach.
It's been reported that Walmart has been going after Amazon hard lately as far as DVDs go, but it looks like they're expanding that front to games.
Multimedia wise the new handheld might not be so far off. DSi has a competent audio player and a really good if slightly underpowered web browser right now, so all they'd need to add is a decent video playback system and they'd be cooking with gas.
Partnering with Opera this gen was a great idea, they really do make good products even for underpowered systems.

Erm, how is that possible?
That's an honest question, I'm not sure at all how that technology is supposed to work unless it involves a motion tracker trying to detect where your head is and move the image accordingly. Which, if that's how it works, would actually be pretty neat.

Quick question: For NPD sales numbers of a console (say 360s), if they state that X units are sold does that mean units sold to consumers or units sold by (say Microsoft) to retailers?
Just for clarification:
NPD reports number of consoles that are sold at retail. That means Units sold as reported by NPD are actual units sold to consumers.
Typically it's the publishers or manufacturers that report units shipped to retailers.
Manufacturers and publishers will state the latter for a couple of reasons. One, it's the number they actually have and don't have to rely on third party indexing of the retail market. Two, shipped is always higher of course, so it looks better. Three, units shipped early on is an indicator of how much demand that the retailers expect, as they are the ones doing the ordering. So when units shipped is really high initially, its because retails are expecting the console or game to have a large demand and sell very well.
NPD tells us sold to consumers. It's extremely useful because we find out more accurately how many people actually bought Console X or Game Y. We find out if there's actual interest (and market) out there for it. And so do publishers/manufacturers and developers who are deciding upon and planning for the market (and thus budget) for their games.
That's an honest question, I'm not sure at all how that technology is supposed to work unless it involves a motion tracker trying to detect where your head is and move the image accordingly. Which, if that's how it works, would actually be pretty neat.
What you're describing is called head tracking, and it's one technique to make something appear to have depth. The image is adjusted based on where it thinks your face is to let you look around as if the device was a window into a world. But anything with a camera facing you can do this, provided it has enough processing power. The DSi can do it as it is, which is shown in one video of a DSiware game in Japan that's been thrown around a lot today.
But that's not "3D without glasses," that's still just a flat 2D image that responds to your movement. If you want to watch 3D Avatar on the DS, that's another story.
It seems likely that the 3DS's method of making you see a 3D image is going to be parallax barrier. I kind of explained it here.

Aaaaand Sony chimes in:
"Our focus on 3D right now is on the console. There's a tremendous amount of opportunity on PlayStation 3 with 3D. The amount of interest in 3D from the retail side and game publishers is off the charts. We know we have a hit with 3D on PS3 and we're going to concentrate our efforts there. I think it remains to be seen where Nintendo goes with 3D on a portable. Having been in the portable space for quite awhile, I think it's an interesting move but one I'd like to see where they go from a demographic standpoint. 8 and 9 year olds playing 3D is a little bit of a stretch given where some of our research is right now." - SCEA's Director of Hardware and Marketing John Koller
I wish I lived in a world where corporations either didn't have to A. Lie their asses off or B. Be completely delusional.
"We know we have a hit with 3D on PS3"
Really? Just like you knew you had a hit on your hands with the PSP or PS3? You're either full of yourselves, or full of shit.
And I can't really blame them, as EVERY company has to make statements that make them sound like they think they're the most amazing thing to ever grace the planet.
Yeah, those 8 and 9 year olds don't want 3D, or it makes games too hard for them, or something. Wait, why are we doing this in the console space again? Oh that's right, little kids don't play our console. That's a good thing, somehow.
One of the things I love about Reggie is that he is paid to be biased. It is his JOB to promote Nintendo and its products, and he's exceptional at his job. He is a sincere, smart, great guy and he sounds completely logical when he talks about his company. For most of the time over the last 3 1/2 years, his company's products have been on fire, and he had it relatively easy--it's not hard to say great things about a company when everything is going well. Now, his company is still doing fine, but in comparison to prior years, Nintendo's products are showing signs of weakness.
In contrast to Reggie, I'm paid to be objective. I am almost NEVER 100% correct, and neither I nor the people who pay me expect me to be. We are paid to be "close enough," and to provide investors with objective views about the future. When talking about what will happen in the future, all that really matters is that we're rational, logical, thoughtful, thorough and remain unbiased. That's why I'm not held to a batting average. The reason you and other members of the press ask me questions is that I'm accessible, responsive, colorful, and more often than not, am credible. If I failed to be credible, people would not seek my opinion. So my credibility batting average is really quite high.
In regards to the PSP2 discussion earlier I am fairly certain that Nintendo will once again find themselves alone in the dedicated portable gaming market next 'gen'. The next Sony handheld will be marketed as a smartphone.
It's just a guess of course. I know it is dumb to say a company is unbeatable in any market but Nintendo's been king of the handheld market for so long. Despite Apples dominance in smartphones there does seem to be a lot room there (as proved by Android*).

However, that assumes that 1: Consumers here will care anyways, and 2: Consumers here are the type to read the internet enough to know there IS going to be another hardware relase in a little over a year. Could be a tossup. Might sell crazy, might be a flop.
