Lets not forget that there are over 100 3D Movies premiering in Theaters in 2014 (only 52 weeks, LOL)

3D TV's have always sold better then HD TVs during same point in life spam, and continue to increase in year-on-year sales as well.

Can we just admit that the easy majority of consumers want 3D? when we have had less then 5% of movies have a 3D screening when 100% of movies have a 2D screenings, and the 3D screenings by themselves make up around 50% of box office totals each year.

Monster Hunter

If 3D movies make up 50% of box office totals and cost more, that means fewer people are going to see movies in 3D.

You are going to look silly when the 2DS comes out.

It sold almost 400k this (not 'a week') week with Monster Hunter, which had nothing to do with 3D movies whatsoever .

What is the purpose of this thread.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Less so a 3D device, more-so a device for parents to keep their kid's mouths quiet. lol (not even trolling)



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

No sales are 370k because Monster Hunter released in Japan this week, it has absolutely nothing to do with 3D.

I know it's best to wait for 3D Movies from Warner Bros. (Superman Reboot & Batman 4 & up & etc.) & Disney (Tron 2 & 3 & Pirates 4 & up & etc.) & Dreamworks and any other Hollywood studio that has sign a contract with Nintendo since after 2010 (if any), as well as when Hulu Plus beats Netflix to the punch on having a big library of 3D Streaming Movies before Netflix gets any, to then see what sales are after these kinds of releases, but Monster Hunter 4 clearly is one of those many games only exclusive to the 3DS because of 3D, same goes for King of Pirates & Resident Evil: Mercenaries & Kid Icaurs Reboot & Lugi's Mansion Reboot & so fort.

Theres only a Zelda Ocarina & Star Fox 64 ports because of 3D as well, same goes for Tales of the Abyss & Metal Gear Solid (2 & 3).

the only thing I hate about 3D is the Theater format of the 3D effect for most 3D Movies that have an IMAX screening, because then you have to see the 3D format for theaters on the IMAX screen only to get a good 3D effect in theaters, but at least the image always looks way more clearer/brighter/vivid/anti-aliasing looking with much more deeper looking colors in the 3D screening, despite the resolution going down instead of up.
