<p>Concerns over &#8216;blurry&#8217; screens on the 3DS XL were addressed earlier by Takashi Murakami (Nintendo&#8217;s research and development unit) when he was asked about possible problems by Nintendo&#8217;s CEO, Satoru Iwata. Iwata questioned him:</p>
<p>&#8216;With regard to the LCD, many customers appear to be worried, asking questions like &#8216;If the screen is bigger, won&#8217;t the dots stand out?&#8217; and &#8216;Will the screen get blurry?&#8217; As a developer, what do you think about that?&#8221;</p>
<p>To this, Murakami stated, &#8220;Apparently I have incredible eyesight, so if you look at it with eyes like mine, you can tell,&#8221; he laughed. &#8220;But for normal play, I don&#8217;t think anyone will be able to sense anything awkward.&#8221;</p>
<p>Iwata replied, &#8220;The dots are indeed smaller than on the Nintendo DSi XL1 system. When I played it, I wasn&#8217;t bothered by anything at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murakami then remarked:</p>
<p>&#8220;To get a bit technical, it is thought that you need the screen to have at least 100 ppi2 to view good 3D images, and I&#8217;ve set it as a goal. What&#8217;s more, the Nintendo 3DS XL&#8217;s attraction as a product is that it&#8217;s bigger than the Nintendo 3DS and shows 3D graphics with impact &#8211; and when it comes to that, it&#8217;s just fine.&#8221;</p>
