Will Nintendo make a 3D console?

smiyamotoRight before the announcement of the Nintendo 3DS, Game Informer managed to get a few words from Shigeru Miyamoto, who talked a bit about their position in 3D gaming. Their handheld is a step forward, but will their next console try to compete with Sony's plans of 3D support?

 

"We're at the stage right now where it's very difficult to tell whether 3D televisions are going to cater to our needs to make better 3D experiences," Miyamoto said. "For one thing, our video games are made for as many people as possible, and the number of people who can play those types of games, who can afford to buy the 3D televisions at home, aren't going to be very good."

 

But as far as 3D console gaming is concerned, the legendary gamesmith isn't closing any doors. "It is also true that certain types of three-dimensional games utilize 3D televisions might help people navigate more freely. Right now we're at the stage where it's very hard for us to determine whether it's very good or bad."

No. Nintendo would need to make a console literally more powerful than PS3, since most PS3 games use too much of it's power to do 3D.

Yeah, at least not as a requirement. Now, if it had a 'normal' mode where it worked perfectly fine on non-3d TVs, well that's fine too.

it seems likely but it looks like they are going consumer friendly and i suppose safe works best for them as with what's going on recession wise the sales of the wii has done pretty well recently so it's safe to bet if 3d happens they may make it an add on as there was 3d back on the sega master system with glasses but the ds supposely has no glasses so this seems likely it may happen

Problem is Sony likes to think they being innovative with things like 3D on Ps3 but really they at least 10 years too early for 3D gaming to be a viable business, just like a digital only handheld(Psp Go) being too early and eyetoy just being pointless, that's what makes Nintendo so good because they don't make half arsed attempts at things like Sony and wait untill the technology and the gamers are ready and step right in and show everyone how it's done.

Something big must be happening - read the following article in relation to http://www.3DConsole.com

Game Vendors scramble to purchase 3DConsole.com
...............................................
A record-breaking domain sale is expected to lift suppressed dot com prices as major game vendors scramble to purchase 3DConsole.com prior to the launch of the worlds first 3D console by Nintendo in June of this year.

The auction is currently running at Sedo.com and industry experts are suggesting a 5 to 6 figure sale, which would be a very welcomed boost to this one time booming industry.
