Don't Count On Nintendo's Next Console Using 3D Technology

Displaying content in 3D is the main draw for the new Nintendo 3DS. So will Nintendo's next home console follow suit? Don't hold your breath.

"I think at Nintendo, we realize that any sort of goggle-type 3-D technology was not going to work," Nintendo's Hideki Konno told CNN. "In order to make 3-D technology viable with video games, we thought we needed to have glasses-free 3-D."

"Glasses-free is a big deal," Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, adds. "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 3-D, likely, that won't be it."

Thank you, Nintendo. Thank you.
