Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime said stereo 3D is unlikely to be a main feature of the company's next-gen console:
Even though Nintendo is the first company to announce a portable video game system with auto-stereoscopic 3D screen, it does not seem that the company truly believes in stereo-3D (S3D) technology in general. Speaking to a major TV channel, the president of Nintendo of America expressed doubts that S3D will be the main feature of the company's next-gen console.

"Glasses-free is a big deal. We have not said publicly what the next thing for us will be in the home console space, but based on what we have learned on 3-D, likely, that won't be it," said Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo, in an interview with CNN web-site.
