The Nintendo president was equally down on the recent enthusiasm over 3D technology, saying âI have doubts whether people will be wearing glasses to play games at home.

I donât know. How does shouting/blowing into a handheld on the train make you look?
His buzz-killing didnât stop there, either, responding to questions about motion-sensing handhelds and high definition Wiis with âI question whether those features would be enough to get people to buy new machinesâ.
