| nordlead said: It will be a gimick until 3D TV's become mainstream (as in a decent market penetration like 30% or more) and has little to do with console generation boundaries. I mean, games are already 3D, but rendered in 2D, so going to 3D is just a natural extension. However, it is limited by the TV, so for now PS3 having 3D capabilities is a complete waste on 99% of the market. I'm glad they are exploring it now, but if a company doesn't have money to burn then I hope they don't bother with it as it won't gain them any sales. |
I agree with the first half but the second half not so much. Sony wants to sell you a 3D tv and eventually some 3D blu-rays but if there is no content then no one will buy the tv. now i don't think sony should put too much time/money into 3D at this time due to a tiny consumer market. However, getting video games to display in 3D is a much easier and quicker way to get 3D content into the market compared to movies which will need special cameras. At the end of this year there will be what...10 blu-rays in 3D and that's probably being generous? There is only 1 atm and I heard Avatar won't have a 3D release until next year. Even if Sony just tacked on 3D in a crappy way with low rez/fps we could have 10-20 video games in 3D in the same time frame between patches for old games and support for this year's releases.
