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... |
Actually with Natal and simpler games, the Xbox 360 could pull off 3D a lot easier the console is CPU limited and therefore it would leave a lot of GPU power spare to allocate to 3D display.
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
