Last week, eye specialists said that 3D screens aren’t hazardous to anyone’s eyes, let alone young kids. Now Nintendo is backtracking on their 3DS warning, saying the 3DS is “not dangerous.”

“We are being proactive about informing our customer, even though it may not necessarily be positive for our sales,” said Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s president, in a rare interview.
