It doesn't matter that 3D might be to expensive for the average person because Sony also has move now.

Move may also be too expensive for the average person when they consider the fact that you can almost get a Wii for the same price.


I think $399 for a 250gb PS3 with move/Pseye /a game isn't that bad.. considering they were selling the 250gb for $349 alone

Except you need the second controller "nunchuck" or whatever its called which bumps the price to $429. Nobody is going to hold the dualshock in one hand so don't say that's an option.

Lol. "You can do this, but nobody is gonna do it, so it's not possible. Pay up!"

Do I think what sounds funny? Holding a dualshock in one hand while waving the other? Yes I think that sounds funny.

I will because I won't be wasting $500 in order for two people to play Move.

I wouldn't say it's cheap. If you have a PC with a powerful Nvidia card already then yes the costs come down but starting from scratch is pretty hefty. Plus, they still use the glasses and I think this is a barrier for 3D.

MS is right that 3d tech at home needs to drastically come down in price before the mass market will buy it.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

So...next E3 then?



thx1139 on 16 June 2010

3D in the console space wont be impactful until next gen.  The cost of entry is just to high. In addition to the TV itself at this point my family would need to spend an extra $600 (minimum) on glasses.  So he is correct in what he says.

As for the 3DS I will think about that once I know the price. 



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

MS doesn't have a vested interest in pushing 3D televisions, so why would they care at this point about driving their sales, which is what Sony is doing with the PS3.  MS will be able to churn out 3D content once the uptick in 3D televisions takes place.
