Speaking to Japanese publication Sankei Biz, Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai revealed rather predictably that he isn’t entirely won over by glasses free 3D technology.
“Naked-eye 3D for portables does not have high precision, and at present there are limitations,”

On the subject of 3D, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata still has the technology in mind for the future successor to the Nintendo Wii, but, he says it’s unlikely that we will see glasses free 3D TV’s anytime soon.
“With parallax barrier technology the LCD must be a certain distance away from the screen. It also needs a certain viewing angle. We think it is not a great match for the home TV set.”
“As one of the engineers, I can anticipate that someone will invent a 3D TV that does not require you to wear 3D glasses. As far as today is concerned I do not think they can do it well. We need an invention to make it happen. If you ask me when, I have no idea.”
