If you thought Sony intends to follow in the footsteps of Nintendo’s recent 3DS announcement, being a staunch proponent of 3D technology and all, think again. According to SCEA marketing director John Koller in a recent interview with IGN, the company’s 3D focus remains firmly centered on the console space, with no immediate plans to deviate:

Our focus on 3D right now is on the console. 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.

While Koller isn’t discrediting the possibility of a 3D PSP entirely, it sure sounds like Sony is opting to take a wait and see approach with this one. Can’t blame them.
