Is the Nintendo 3DS dangerous to children?

Is the nintendo 3ds dangerous for children? This is what Nintendo officially had to say when questioned on the subject:

“We will recommend that very young children not look at 3D images,” [Reggie] said. “That’s because, [in] young children, the muscles for the eyes are not fully formed… This is the same messaging that the industry is putting out with 3D movies, so it is a standard protocol. We have the same type of messaging for the [1990s Nintendo virtual reality machine] Virtual Boy, as an example.”

So what constiutes a very young child? Again, according to Nintendo children under the age of six should not play Nintendo 3DS. So to all those young and eager kids who have been waiting for the release of the Nintendo 3ds, I am sorry to say you are going to have to wait a few years before you can play it!
