No actually Nvidia are the first to market with effective 3D gaming for home based systems. Nintendo will be the first to market with handheld 3D gaming (in an effective form) as well. Sony will be behind the 8 ball for the remainder of the generation because whilst the PS3 can do 3D, it cannot do effective 3D as it currently exists. It would be a gimmick with only a select few titles supporting the technology.

According to who? I thought it was already established the PS3 can effectively do 3D, and very well too.. Will it be a gimmick? Probably, but with the 3DS being announced, I honestly doubt sony will let nintendo take the spot light on 3d gaming. Since they are pushing 3d tvs this summer.

Do you want to play Uncharted 2 in 3D at 1280 by 540 resolution with additional input latency due to the fact that the TV has to do the scaling? Thats one of the better cases, pretty much anything running at 720P natively is out of the question, only Sony games which render at the higher 1080P vertical resolution are even applicable for this technology.
