Well they already added an hdmi connection after it launched, there's no reason they couldn't start shipping models with the upgraded hdmi connection to be *exactly* like the PS3 connection.

Personally, I dont' see why as its not going to create much of a jump in consoles sales at this time due to the costs associated with the new TVs and glasses. I'd keep their solution for 3D as is and not spend any more money.

They really don't need an upgraded HDMI. The current HDMi can do 720p x2. Do you really think 360 (or PS3) can do higher res 3D at 1080p x2 for a retail title? 

The thing is, MS has 0 money to make from 3D. They are not selling you 3000 dollar TVs. And the amount of people buying PS3's for 3D will be too low to even bother trying to get a piece of that pie. Thats the only reason why MS hasn't announced 3D gaming. 360 is perfectly capable of doing it...

I didn't say 3D on the 360 wasn't possible, as it obviously is. I was relating to the fact that the latest HDMI spec has a new channel and specification strictly for the new 3D tvs and that cannot be done on the current HDMI hardware in the 360. The rest of your argument is basically what I implied. Its just not worth the extra costs to change production to now include the updated HDMI, when the current model can technically do HD quality 3D games.
