It is though becoming a more and more redundant feature of gaming. The xbox went from 4 wired ports down to 2 and this generation, like the next, will focus on internet gaming. 

Fighting games and platformers are a much smaller market. Plus using current MS technology, they can actually emit two different pictures from one monitor to different viewers e.g. you see a flower, guy next to you sees a skull. 

 

With 4k resolutions on the horizon, it's not unreasonable to expect people to move their heads, or if the next-box has 16 cores, eyetracking  may be feasible.

AFAIK the technology to display two different images for two different people on one screen is not patented by microsoft... it is patented by... hummm... I don't remember but it is one of the major TV producers...

I'm guessing you are teasing. Sony's simulview? I hope they implement that in their future tvs and not just the 3d display. Using a VR tech like this thread is talking about would be more effective using simulview.
