I understand what you are telling me... and I am agreeing that 3D is here to stay. I've been gaming in 3D since 2008...way before Samsung and Sony said I should be doing it. PC 3D gaming has been relevant since late 90s. That 3D market will never go away.
But the 3D you speak of is just a watered down cash grab by the TV manufacturers at this point. It is inferior to older 3D methods(720p for gaming and image ghosting), it lacks content to attract the mass public and will reach saturation point (if it hasn't already) way before it becomes "afordable".
Even now, 3D isn't that expensive. People who are buying a a TV shouldn't have problems spending 200-300 more to get a similar 3D TV. But the masses don't care about it and don't want it. People who do care about 3D are laughing at these TVs as they know they can get a 100 inch projector setup in 3D for a 1000 dollars which rapes any 3D TV to date.
Setup like this, which is what im using right now for 3D...cost me about 1200 dollars with the 1.8 gain highly reflective screen and 2 pairs of DLP link 3D glasses.
