Sony executives talk about why the new PSP give up 3D screen

Sony's new PSP handheld computer, codenamed NGP, has undergone many upgrades in internal hardware and screens. Although it pushed 3D, Sony did not introduce 3D screens into the new handhelds like Nintendo 3DS. Sony executives said that they had considered the design of the 3D screen, but thought it was not suitable for portable game consoles.

Sony SCEE President Andrew House was interviewed at the Sony headquarters in Tokyo a few days ago. He talked about why he did not introduce a 3D screen.

He said: “We believe that 3D has huge market potential. In terms of recent development, I will call it a special kind of entertainment environment. It can provide a shared entertainment experience at home and on TV. We are also working hard. Try to convert your current 3D sharing experience to a portable handheld."

Next Andrew House discussed in detail their judgment of 3D technology in the development process.

He said: "In the development of the new handheld, we also considered introducing stereoscopic 3D into the NGP, but in the end we did not do so. Our aim is to provide players with ultimate palm through a revolutionary user interface. The machine experience, after careful consideration, we decided to focus on the hardware and new features."

However, he added that SCE will continue to promote its 3D concept along with Sony Group through BRAVIA 3D TV. Users can enjoy the best stereo experience without going to the cinema at home. Sony will do its best to create the most pure 3D entertainment experience. .

However, the lack of NGP handheld 3D makes Nintendo's naked eye 3DS take the lead in this performance, which will soon be available next month. However, Andrew House insists that 3D does not affect the competition between NGP and 3DS. Its new handheld has other features as well.

He said: "I know you may think I'm talking big, but our goal is to increase our market share after the NGP is released to attract more users. In other words, we spend time on competing users, which is also ours. The first goal."

Andrew House said that it is our job to provide users with the best experience. Our products are also worth the time for the players to spend time on the NGP.

In conclusion, he concluded: “We are very confident that NGP can highlight its strengths and differentiate itself from competitors' products through its configuration, especially its revolutionary user interface and network connectivity features.”

Sony’s new generation of handhelds will be available during the Christmas shopping season this year and the price has not yet been disclosed.
