Sony Wants to Work With Nintendo to Promote 3D

President of Sony's Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida recently gave an interview to IGN where he spoke out against Nintendo's attacks on his company's 3D gaming efforts. It appears, in fact, that Sony wants to work with Nintendo to promote 3D gaming in general.

"I have hope that they have a broader perspective with 3D," Yoshida said. "When you listen to what they are saying about the effect of 3D perspective to the games, they are saying the same message we are, but they don't have to bash some small part of what the other company is doing."

That "small part" he's referring to is the glasses required for eye-popping visuals in most 3D, including Sony's plans for the PS3.

Those glasses, however, aren't a small part. They're the biggest hurdle. Personally speaking, I'm not sold on 3D yet. I think the 3DS looks like a nice upgrade, even without the 3D part. But not having to wear glasses is enough to at least keep an open mind and give it a shot.

It's hard to tell if Sony really wants to promote 3D in general or are looking to use "PR speak" to ride Nintendo's coat tails. I'm guessing the latter.
