| StokedUp said: Thats one ignorant comment from the microsoft dude. 3D is obviously the future of technology, the way we've viewed videos, video games, and whatever else is on the TV is always evolving and getting better. First we had black and white tvs, Then we had colour TVs, then we had TVs that could display even more colours for a better picture, then we had digital broadcasts instead of analogue, then we had HD Picture quality TVs and now were moving into 3D. The movies at the cinemas are all into 3D now, SKY TV (the main "cable tv" in the UK) is launching its 3d range of channels. Infact its already launched it sports 3d channel and has pubs all around th UK screening 3D sports and people rate it. Ill admit i think it'll take a little bit longer to get going as weve only just really moved into FULL HD but 3D will be something that all TVs will come with in the future and nearly all if not all video games will come with the feature aswell. |
FFS THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL QUOTE!
He isn't doubting 3D will one day be important, it really just isn't relevant in the home console market this generation. Any reasonably impartial person can see this is a fact just looking at adoption rates for HDTV's. It's going to be a lot harder getting people to upgrade to 3D as a extra feature too as HD only became a standard because it's nigh on impossible to buy a SDTV anymore. Unless you put 3D into every TV from new it will be a long long time before it becomes a relevant technology to focus on, it doesn't help there is no clearly defined industry standard yet either.
