Expect to see the graphics take a substantial hit when they move to 3D. Why? Because they will have to render 2 camera angles every frame.
It will only be the render engine that does double duty though so it won't be 50% slowdown, however.
But I do think if any one does it, Sony is in the best position to try it:
1.) The PS3 is vastly a single player console
2.) It has the most power, and the best architecture to run 2 simultaneous rendrer streams
3.) Being the 3rd place console, it needs to try something new to boost sales.
Will it help? I doubt it. I don't think many developers will throw too much support behind the tech till its proven, if its proven.
