Care to elaborate?

It uses the same technology as this DSi "game" (well explained in this Wii presentation). Though, as far as I know, it's not officially announced that it uses head tracking. The "one internal and two external cameras" makes it sound that way, though.

Actually no it doesn't, you are just basing your opinion off of very old speculation from when the 3DS was announced. While the 3DS can do some basic head tracking, that isn't how it implements its 3D capabilities. It does it by basically doing the same thing as the glasses, except that the screen shows two different images to each eye rather than the glasses filtering two different images.

Fable 3 was the only thing i was really interested in, love them games :D

Wasn't that just speculation also? I saw an image of that, and it seems like an implausible way of doing it in my mind. Won't the images swap eyes with slight angle changes? And what's the internal camera for? Oo
On a related note: the new 3D glasses tech isn't like the old red/cyan ones. They use some spiraling glass, I think, and flicker images in a more advanced way than every other frame for each eye.

Well this might be something embarrassing from this year's E3 , apparently you can not play a game using Xbox Kinect while sitting. :D
--- Quote ---One developer with whom I spoke and who is familiar with how Microsoft is briefing studios making games for Kinect said the company has specifically advised developers to not make games that would involve the player's sitting down.

hmm, different images for each eye, I guess you would need some adjustable micro-optics on the display for that?

Geez Microsofts press conference was horrible T_T Everything felt so fake.
I really enjoyed Sonys this year though, as per usual - they brought alot of decent games (even sorcery looked good for a Move game) and of course Twisted freaking metal!!!
Nintendo Surprised me a bit as well, they did better than the last 2 years - showing alot of games people cared about. With a few embarrassments (golden eye looks horrible etc.) but the 3Ds is interesting...but the Wiis age is starting to show with its horrible graphic capability making it hard to take any Wii trailer seriously on stage.
The best part of e3 for me was the MvC3 gameplay videos....holy crap dose that game look awesome and Of course Twisted Metal/Portal 2(steam on Ps3 ftw)
Overall though there was a bit less 3d bullshit than I expected, and at least all the Sony games showed that were focused on 3d still looked good without the glasses and thats whats important.
