I believe the main reasons SONY is pushing for 3D games is to learn how to make 3D games for next-gen and because there adding 3D for blu-ray movies anyway. As for why Microsoft is staying out of 3D -- the 360 doesn't really gain anything from 3D, it can't use HDMI 1.4 and if developers are going to use NATAL which already uses 10-15% of 360's processing power then 3D NATAL games would be pushing the system to its limit very quickly... |
PS3 doesn't have HDMI 1.4 either. The magical firmware update Sony has in store will have to do some crazy data packing to pull off 1.4 kind of bandwith using HDMI 1.3 in the PS3.
360 is equally 3D capable as PS3 and have games running in 3D as well as a few XBL games in development. they are not pushing 3D cause they really don't have 2000 dollar 3D TVs to sell.
