Sony är roliga...
"March 23, 2010 - Sony fans should not expect a 3D PSP announcement anytime soon. In an interview with IGN, SCEA's Director of Hardware and Marketing John Koller said the company is only focusing on the 3D console space right now.
"Our focus on 3D right now is on the console," he said. "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."
Koller also questioned today's announcement of the Nintendo 3DS, saying he wasn't sure if there is a market for 3D handheld gaming with a younger audience.
"I think it remains to be seen where Nintendo goes with 3D on a portable," he added. "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."

"8 and 9 year-olds playing 3D is a little bit of a stretch given where some of our research is right now"...Okej...
Man låter som vanligt Nintendo leda vägen och kopierar konceptet om det går bra.
När ska Sony börja göra något orginellt?
Nintendo Play Station med en SNES ovanpå
Ända sedan SuperNES "Play Station" har Sony inte skapat något eget. Man tog bara teknik och ideér från både Nintendo och SEGA och skapade Playstation-X.
Nintendos idé med cd-skivor var dock lite smartare, man ville ha cd-skivor inkapslade i plastfodral tillsammans med ett litet minne för sparfiler.
Bye the way, detta var under utveckling 1990-1991...1992 släppte Sony Minidisc-formatet...
Nintendo Disc
Sony Minidisc
Så allt är egentligen SEGA och NECs fel, om deras maskiner inte hade floppat så hade inte Nintendo dragit sig tillbaka till kassettvärlden och vi hade haft Nintendo Play Station istället för PSX.
Visst säger man att ingen teknik eller komponenter i Playstation-X kommer ifrån Play Station och har därför inget med Nintendo att göra...
