(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sony America’s John Koller has moved to dispel any talk of seeing a 3D update to the PlayStation Portable, stating that the electronics giant is firmly focused on integrating the technology in to PlayStation 3.

Speaking to IGN, Koller stated, "Our focus on 3D right now is on the console,” adding, “There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity on PlayStation 3 with 3D. The amount of interest in 3D from the retail side and game publishers is off the charts. We know we have a hit with 3D on PS3 and we’re going to concentrate our efforts there.”

Koller’s comments come following yesterday’s announcement of the Nintendo 3DS, which will be showcased for the first time at E3 in June. The handheld will allow gamers to experience portable 3D gaming without the need for any “special glasses” and will be released some time before March of next year.

However, the executive expressed concerns as to whether or not younger gamers would embrace the 3D concept:

“I think it remains to be seen where Nintendo goes with 3D on a portable,” he said. “Having been in the portable space for quite awhile, I think it’s an interesting move but one I’d like to see where they go from a demographic standpoint. Eight and nine year-olds playing 3D is a little bit of a stretch given where some of our research is right now.”
