QUOTE Most people who remember the Virtual Boy wish they didn't. Released in 1995 in Japan and North America, Nintendo's initial attempt at a three-dimensional gaming platform has become infamous for its shortcomings. The goggle-based semiportable's monochromatic display was so optically punishing, its games had built-in warnings to tell users to stop playing every 15 minutes to prevent eyestrain. Such demands sowed the seeds of the platform's destruction, and its dismal sales still stand as a warning against game-hardware folly.
Mitsubishi reps said the technology could be incorporated into Blu-ray players as soon as "early 2008." Then, almost casually, the blog mentioned that "Mitsubishi hinted that it was in discussions with one game console manufacturer to integrate its 3D technology into the system." Given the fact that the PlayStation 3 is the only game console on the market to use the Blu-ray format, it is almost certain that said manufacturer was Sony. That is, unless Microsoft has secretly abandoned its support of Blu-ray rival HD-DVD and Nintendo is readying a new Wii that can handle high-definition 3D graphics.
