Forums - Gaming Discussion - Some very strange pronouncements from Microsoft

The 3D comments from Greenburg are pure accuracy, i've never seen a Microsoft executive have so much common sense..

3D is going to be great for theaters, great at home for a niche audience. Is this something you want to base an entire game platform's future on? Only if you want to sell more TVs at huge profits in a bad economy.

LOL.  I also like the fact that the OP linked to the N4G page that links to the article.



Natal will be huge

Greenburg: The technology just isn't there to support this technology yet and it doesn't give consumers what they want. Edit: "Also Linux or Mac OS or any other competitor hasn't done it first"

I know you're being satirical and sarcastic with the Stringer comment.

 

But I could get beghind that.

So what two TV's. I have 42' , but if they can make their products seems worth it (like with PS3) then we should buy it.

 

Ironic how this is comming from a WII user.  *cough*cheap, stingy *cough*

Stingy? LOL I spent more money on my graphics card + monitors than I have in my living room. I just bought a pair of 24" monitors and an HD 5870!

Im just a PC gamer born and bred who loves Nintendo + Mario to the core.

Holy hell. It's Bruce.

At first I found it weird that he wasn't actually fellating MS in this piece, but then I noticed that he was still spinning the fantasy that it is the 360's manifest destiny to rule this generation. He's just pretending to worry that the next Xbox won't follow the same illustrious path.

I think MS is being rather sensible.. the limitation with 3DTV.. is the TV. MS have no control over that tech whatsoever. SONY has more at stake with 3DTV than MS- so MS supporting 3D games at this point is pretty useless for them. In a few yrs when enough sets have been sold, MS will support it. Its no stranger than nintendo's anti-stance toward HDTV's at the wii's launch.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

Strange.

It seems that Microsoft is doing for 3D what Nintendo did for HD - and we know who won that one.
