Yes, and like I highlighted, cinemas have invested a lot of money in the installation of 3D capable screens and eyewear, its only natural that they will lean heavilly towards pushing 3D tickets to maximise profit from their substantial investments, what do you want them to do "oh hey guys were going to show 2d stuff on our 3d capable screens", no, that isnt, doesnt and wont happen - 3d screenings of new films available in 3D are shown more frequently and shown at more major cinemas than their 2D counterparts. So using cinema ticket sales as a longwinded way to backup your weak 3ds argument is laughable at best. Pulled entirely out of your backside, they dropped the price, pure and simple. But I have to ask since you did pull it out of your backside, as a sideline product, who exactly does nintendo need to "be in talks with" to discontinue a product? Yes, yes, were discussing discontinuing a product, so lets launch a massive marketing and advertising compaign for it even though were "in talks" to discontinue it. Gimmie a break, 2DS sales are lower because the hardware is badly designed and the screens are easy to scratch, people want the more common clamshell version and buy that instead, especially since its more commonly bundled with new games, that is all there is to it. Don't believe me? make a poll and ask "Do you use 3D on your 3DS anymore", and see the results for yourself, people try it when they first get one, but in most cases it's slid down to off and left there after the novelty has worn off (usually within an hour), infact, you know what, i'll make the thread right now. |
They show both 2D & 3D screenings. And during the next week they adjust the screenings at each local theater accordingly to which screening sales did better then the other.
This is why you see less & less 3D screenings for CGI & stop-motion films compare to 2D screenings for the same CGI & stop-motion films.
But Live-Action films gain more 3D screenings vs. their own 2D screenings each week, because people like the actually great 3D in Live-Action movies.
But 3D in CGI & stop-motion movies does poorly, because their 3D effect is unimpressive.
Think of live-action movies as 3DS games, excluding 3DS games like Pokémon X & Y and Crimson Shroud.
And think of animated movies as having the kind of 3D effect that such 3DS games as Pokémon X & Y and Crimson Shroud have.
Besides, HD & Surround Sound are more of a gimmick then 3D will ever be. And I didn't see anything stop those two's, slick intrigration.
And 3D gives way more clearity & anti-aliasing in image quality with only a fraction of the resolution.
And some other user on VGchartz already did a poll about people who use the 3D on the 3DS, and the majority of the votes said they did used the 3D effect on the 3DS at least most the time.
