Finally? Uh they aren't announcing Sony finally getting involved in 3D. They are just announcing a new joint venture that Sony is a part of. BTW Sony is the only company that is involved in all aspects of the 3D bandwagon, which is manufacturing the hardware, producing the content, and providing the content. So to say THEY are the company that needs some serious work to be an industry leader is a little ignorant as they are one of, if not, the company that is putting the most eggs inside the 3D basket and has been doing so for some time now.


What are you talking about? Sony doesn't have a single 3D ready TV on the market. Nor have they published a single piece of software in 3D,

What content?

Sony has released ONE 3D movie in theaters...Polar Express. Other studios have 4-5 movies released in 3D.

The TV channel is everyone here is talking about is a Sony/Imax venture...called Discovery 3D, which is great...however I am willing to bet the content will not have anything to do with sony. Also, ESPN is delivering 3D sports channel summer 2010. We still don't have a release date for the sony Imax venture.

Sony is going to announce a 3D Tv at CES...you know it, I know it. and they will be 3 years late to the party.

Also its going to be hillarious seeing the playstation fans stand up and pretend sony is leading the industry when they announce that PS3 can play 3d blurays.

 

EDIT - As things stand now, 3D industry leaders are:

Nvidia - they've been making 3D game drivers since 1990s

Samsung - first 3D ready DLPs, plasmas and 120 hz LCD monitors on the market

National Geographic - has made dozens of 3D movies for Imax which are just itching to be brought to a home screen

Texas instruments - designed a DLP chip for TVs and projectors allowed for checkerbox 3D as of 2007, and it works a hell of a lot better than than 120 hz LCD monitors available right now.

 

Did I say Sony was the first? No, I said they are the only company that is involved in all three areas of 3D; manufacturing, producing and providing content. Each company you listed is specialized in only one aspect. Just because they don't have a tv in the shlves of best buy yet doesn't mean they are not involved in manufacturing 3D TV's.
