many people cant afford to spend money on 3D

While I do own a 3DS and watch movies in 3D at the theater occasionally, I find that I "get used" to the 3D effect halfway into the movie and I usually forget that it's even in 3D. I think it's mostly unnecessary and doesn't add very much to the experience.

I love my 3DTV but a regular user? Why would I be a regular user?

3D gives me a sore head. It's kinda cool, but not cool enough to justify forking out that much money for one.

The only thing I like about 3DTV is the fact that "normal" HD TV prices are dropping so fast. I barely got my 32inch a year ago, now I'm seeing 50+inches going for like 500 bucks.

Give me the right price on a Samsung or Sony and bam Ill own one of those too. Played 3D at E3 several times, tried it at Bestbuy, even watched movies in 3D. I either get headaches from it, or its nothing special at all. Oooh added "depth" thats soo worth hundreds of dollars. And the glasses...come on, why not just put the damn screens in the glasses at this point?

I have a 3D tv but barely use the 3D functionality. It just doesn't seem worth the effort since i
a. have to wear glasses to see it; and
b. have to get them out of the cases which i don't keep near me on the couch.

It's a nice feature but doesn't really change the level of enjoyment with a movie/game.

I'll be glad when companies like Sony and Samsung (and even movie companies for that matter) realise that alot of people just flat out don't want 3D (at least at it's current state) and stop trying to put it in EVERYTHING.

samsung has a new passive 3dtv coming that is in hd while in passive 3d, so once that arrives things should move along .

Boy I sure hope not... GT5 in 3D on a obutto,fanatec Gt3 combo and Killzone 3 3D with sharpshooter on a Panny VT20 are hands down the 2 most ridiculously immersive games I have ever played...and every person I've shown gamer or nongamer agree.

ridiculously mis leading title. Also, I love my 3D tv that I bought for $800 :D

3D gaming... maybe.

3D film viewing... yes to gloomy.

As someone else said, sales have increased on 3D sets, because the prices have come down. (some thinking better to have, than not to have) However, they aren't
watching much 3D. I know a few people who have had reg. HDTV's for years now, but still have no HD source to this day. I even had to tell a couple of them to turn their DVD progressive scan feature to the on position...LOL! They were watching a 480i signal on a $3000 65" set...LOL again!

3D in gaming is simply an excellent option to have and an evolution so it's great that Sony are supporting it. back in the 50s,60,s, 70s, 80s, when 3d was introduced as a fad there was no gaming market like we have to today.

Mainstream movies are hit and miss though where the tech has been used time and time again and failed. Unless directors shoot in 3D the technology is wasted.

The 3D games that are available are already top quality like KZ3 Crysis 2 etc. So when more games come out - and Sony is well committed here - more people will adopt 3D TVs for their gaming.

I don't see 3D as ever being something that is ubiquitous, just because not all content is a good match for the technology. Your action blockbuster, horror and animation, but not much more.

Still, the demise of 3D is heavily exaggerated - coming from a 360 fansite - and we will see more sets with 3D rather we want to or not. The natural progression of television technology (i.e., framerate, definition) seems ready to enable 3D or any set, making it a feature like PIP, which I rarely, if ever use. Still I expect it as a feature.

Lol buttclown, good name

Right now?
Yes.

In the future?
Who knows.

3dtv wont work till its True 3D without glasses. Normal "family" households have 2 adults and 2-3 kids. Thats 4-5 paira of obscenely priced glasses. Not worth it. The people that have 3dtv's now are probally mostly households with no kids/less than 3 people living. Its just not cost effective.

Sony's 3dtv bundled with Resistance 3, thats gonna be the item to decide if 3dtv's are gonna flourish or die. I am buying that bundle. And I cant wait. Even if 3d sucks on it, its still a $499 tv perfect for my bedroom.

3dtv doesn't interest me at all. Even if I had a 3dtv and 3d content, I would just turn it off and watch it the normal way.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
