| Killiana1a said: To elaborate, I think Sony waiting until 2011 to take it's stand will be too long for one key reason: 1. The release of the Nintendo 3DS changing expectations concerning 3D entertainment. Sony has invested an unknown amount of millions upon millions in developing and marketing their 3D televisions. The Nintendo 3DS is a disruptive innovation directly aimed at Sony and Sony's 3D television business. Once the Nintendo 3DS launches, it will get major news coverage on your tech news and mainstream news. Most of the coverage will have comparisons of $3000 Sony televisons requiring $100 for a pair of 3D glasses to a $300 Nintendo handheld gaming device that requires no glasses. The question, which Sony will struggle to answer is "Sony, if Nintendo can do it without glasses, then why are you charging thousands for a similar experience?" Sony's 3D hype will be dead once the Nintendo 3DS launches, which will impact their ability to sell 3D capable PS3 games playable on a $3000 Sony 3D television. |
The obvious response will be: "We are taking a product that was released in 2006 and updating it, for free, to perform in 3D. Their is no pressure to buy a 3D enabled display in order to play PS3. We are simply giving the people that have already bought a 3Dtv a new experience. While we like to think of ourselves as the sole 3D display producers, we are not, and as such, we have no intentions of using the PS3 to sell 3D tvs. However, if you are one of the many thousands of people who decided to buy a 3D set because you enjoy the 3D experience, you should definitely consider gaming on it with the only true 3D console. It doesn't require you to sit at a specific angle or from a certain distance. This is PlayStation 3.
(Edit: "That's even cheaper than a 300$ portable. That's free. Playstation Free")"
