| Play4Fun said: Dual Screen, touch screen, HD, motion controls, analog sticks on controllers, rumble, all these things are/were considered gimmicks when they came out. Some of them have pretty much become standards (HD, DA, dual screen for DS and touch screen for the new handhelds). Today's gimmick when used well usually become tomorrow's standard. People like to throw around the word gimmick all the time like it's a bad thing. Gimmicks are one of the things that moves gaming forward so it doesn't get stale. |
3D will never become a standart, for the same reason HD didn't matter in sales for the 7th console gen, the only difference is that while HD will futurely be adopted just for confort, 3D will just dissapear and reappear from times to times, nvever becoming what it promisses.

Above: still the best game of the year.
