The 3DS will be cheaper than Kinect though and that's the funny part.

the ps3 does have native support for 3d.. and is the only current gen console that has that.. according to kaz harai

don't forget ms also said hdmi and hd-based disk format was not needed and look what happened there ms tried hd-dvd and they have adopted hdmi, if 3d is successful ms will eat their own words and will have to adapt it to keep up.

That is a Myth because even before HD DVD was released The Blu-Ray technology was already in consumer's hands 3 year's that's three year's prior to even the first HD DVD box hitting the consumer market. when all but One Consumer Electronic manuf. companies from the get go supported Blu-Ray over HD DVD's 2..that was Toshiba and Microsoft..it was not going to loose.

it would have been drawn out yes but there was no way HD DVD was going to win..as for the rumor that Warner BROS was paid off that also is just a myth because the WB was on the board of director's of Blu-Ray since the Blu-Ray founder's was started.

The Blu-ray Disc Founders (BDF) group was a collection of technology firms working together to develop and support the The Blu-ray Disc Founders was launched on May 20, 2002. As Blu-ray support grew progressively; announcements in 2004 added HP and dell which declared backing for the standard on January 12, 2004, and TDK on March 19, 2004. It announced that Blu-ray Disc Founders will shift to (BDA) in October on May 18, 2004. It shifted to Blu-ray Disc Association on October 4, 2004.

Sony was just one company in the lot of many that support Blu-Ray because the technology was already been on the consumer market since 2003.

that's the real reason why the technology already worked is one of the reason's Sony used it.

Blu-Ray was not just a sony format

Well he is a dirty liar, or he has a very loose definition for "native support".

PS3 does not provide a native blanket driver which makes games 3D. It is up to the developers to code the game in 3D, as PS3 does not provide a driver like Nvidia does for the PC which turns a game automatically in to 3D.

The only thing PS3 does is use software to emulate HDMI 1.4 plug since it doesnt' have it. Everything else is same as with 360 when it comes to 3D.

Now in the future it may have a driver which helps make games 3D, but so far it does not have native 3D support.

The 3DS will be cheaper than Kinect though and that's the funny part.

Crysis 2 releasing on 360 in full 3d and 720p says hello. Thats November this year.

kowenicki is right.  This has nothing to do with 3DS.  He's clearly talking about the expense of the TVs and the adoption rate.  It makes little sense to go full-board into that realm when such a small percentage of the populace will have 3D televisions for the near future, and an even smaller percentage of them will be gaming on them.

3DS has nothing to do with the high cost of TV's in your living room, just as going to a 3D movie has no bearing on this.  

3D tvs really need to be 52" and higher to work appropriately at this point, and you're generally paying at LEAST $1000 more for the 3D.  A 3DS will be, what?  $30 more than regular DS maybe?  It's not the same thing at all.

The worst part of E3 week is the blind fanboyism.  It makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs.  

He's not shilling for MS.  He's READING.  And THINKING.  That's a GOOD thing.

no:

this was not just aimed at Sony:

"Thompson instead backed the experience of Kinect, the company's hands-free motion-control tech, over the 3D experiences offered by rivals."

he's talking about both Sony and Nintendo..

Thats one ignorant comment from the microsoft dude. 3D is obviously the future of technology, the way we've viewed videos, video games, and whatever else is on the TV is always evolving and getting better. First we had black and white tvs, Then we had colour TVs, then we had TVs that could display even more colours for a better picture, then we had digital broadcasts instead of analogue, then we had HD Picture quality TVs and now were moving into 3D. The movies at the cinemas are all into 3D now, SKY TV (the main "cable tv" in the UK) is launching its 3d range of channels. Infact its already launched it sports 3d channel and has pubs all around th UK screening 3D sports and people rate it.

Ill admit i think it'll take a little bit longer to get going as weve only just really moved into FULL HD but 3D will be something that all TVs will come with in the future and nearly all if not all video games will come with the feature aswell.
