Something doesn't need to improve gameplay (if that's what you mean by gaming) in order to be considered viable. For example, increased graphical capabilities doesn't improve gameplay, but is fundamental to a video game console. That's because these are "video" games. If you just want fun gameplay, that can be done with a NES or a cardboard box.

True, 3D was an expensive visual feature, and one can question it affordability, but there is no question the 3D added to the visual quality of the game's video output. Yes there are downsides, but just looking at the advantages, the 3D does add value. The last question that remains is to what price can this value be offered, and would people be willing to pay for it.

That's it.

Graphical changes enable new gameplay opportunities to a point, as do general improvements in system capabilities, but they are no substitute for good ideas, and their ability to enable good ideas has been overstated.
