Nintendo warns of 3DS hazards
GAMING CONSOLE MAKER Nintendo has warned that kids under six should not use its 3DS in 3D mode.
On its website, the outfit warns that the vision of children under the age of six is still developing.
Nintendo's 3DS consoles' 3D, including 3D movies and television, which deliver 3D images with different left and right eye images can impair the development of childrens' vision processing.
The outfit said that it was aware of the problem and has allowed parental controls to shut off 3D display to keep their young children safe.
Nintendo also recommended that all players take breaks from 3D content every 30 minutes or when they start to feel sick. Apparently this does not just apply to games having soundtracks that make anyone over the age of 12 nauseous.
It is not the first time that Nintendo has warned about the perils of 3D, but it is interesting to see how concerned the Wii maker is over the potential health effects of watching 3D projection. This sort of concern is curiously lacking from the makers of other 3D display products. µ

This sounds like the same problems the Nero Helment had years ago. The NeroHelment caused physical changes in the brain of the test subjects with some very bad side effects and as a result it was removed from the market. These were adualts suddied and I can only imagine what damage it could do to a developing brain. 3D has a greater effects then just the great visuals.
So the PS3 does support 3d gaming, despite the fact very few PS3 games currently do it, meaning Nintendo could be giving this warning about both it and their upcoming handheld but even if that's the case something seems to be missing from this article. If that wasn't the intention then someone made as bout a big a typo as humanly possible.
I also find it kinda funny they're just now getting around to this warning despite the fact industry people have been talking about it for over 6 months. Not to mention isn't it sapposed to be 7 or under, not just kids under 6.
Nintendo is an "outfit"?
Clearly someone who doesn't know Jack S*** about video games wrote this article. By the way, did you hear about Sony's new 3DS or Wii2?
Did anyone else notice the wierd title?
I don't understand how anyone having done even the most minimal research for this story would come away thinking that Nintendo's new system was called the "Playstation 3DS".
Additionally, I don't understand how anyone who would seemingly use the word "playstation" as an improper noun for a video game console as though it weren't a specific brand of systems put out by Sony would be reporting technology news.
I'm reminded of the days when out-of-the-loop parents would refer to all video game platforms as a "Nintendo".
Furthermore, the comment about Nintendo 3DS music nauseating anyone over 12 just makes the author sound like an irate parent or at any rate someone who knows or cares very little about (or for) gaming and perhaps would have preferred to be writing a different piece.
Sony and Nintendo hate eachother, so why would Sony help Nintendo to make a games console? THEY WOULDNT! Its Nintendo 3DS, did you even do your research? NO!
The author has gone all out to do his research on this one! ;)
Playstation 3DS indeed :D
"Playstation" is a brand used by Sony for its game consoles. It is not a word that should be used for their main competitor's hardware. It's akin to writing "Nokia's iPhone N97".
Can this story be corrected please, there is no such product as a Playstation 3DS.
How the hell did you manage to use the word "Playstation"? It clearly isn't supposed to be there.
