Well with Toshiba and Sony both working on glasses free 3D TV sets they are probably rather glad that Samsung has most of the glasses required market. Might be just about the shortest entertainment technology cycle ever if the glasses free tech comes around soon.

You did not just spin that into Sony's advantage.

Yes he did...

To be honest, it really wasn't a fair fight from the beginning. Samsung had 3D plasmas ready in 2008 (see 2008 models http://www.3dmovielist.com/3dhdtvs.html

All they did is slapped on an HDMI 1.4 standard and made the phosphorus faster to prevent ghosting and shipped the TVs.

Sony and Panasonic can not compete with Samsungs price to performance ratio. Panasonic sets are ~1000 dollars more for similar screens, but they do have a better 2D and 3D picture.

Sony on the other hand has had the exact same issues with their 3D LEDs as Samsung (ghosting, image out of sync when head is tilted, high price) but they are asking 1000 to 2000 dollars more for their units which is just rediculous. Since Sony doesn't make plasmas (which are better for 3D and cheaper to manufacture) they are hadicapped in the 3D race from the start.
