So 43% of the Japanese population say the price of 3D TVs is just right, 30% say they have no problem with wearing glasses, 60% feel that 3D presently has enough content to justify interest, and 31.2% are heavily interested/intend to purchase a 3D TV from the get go?

That's actually very good news for advocates of 3D considering prices will go down quickly and 3D content will increase.  



Actually you can't just reverse the results of a survey like that. It just doesn't work.

These people were asked questions like: "Do you think glasses will hinder 3D for you?" Their answers must have boiled down to one of two things... yes or no. If this is the case (which I guarantee it is) the data can be flipped.

It's just that the info was presented in a negative fashion to support the viewpoint of the author. because of this, the data comes off as glass half empty. I'm one of the people who looked at it from the half glass full prospective and was surprised at the, IMO, high current interest.

Plus,

Assuming this survey mirrors reality, 1/3 of the entire Japanese population will adopt 3D. I find that quite significant...

Usually the answers actually boil down to yes/no or I don't know / No answer. You're grouping two answers together. I also guarantee you that the questions "Do you think glasses will hinder...?" and "Are you ok with the glasses?" would get different sets of results.

Basically a negative for one is not the same as a positive for another.
