Microsoft: We are 2 to 3 years away from 3D gaming taking off

August 24, 2010 in Industry News comments 5

You can either be an early adopter and spend out a couple to few thousand dollars for a 3D gaming setup or you can patiently wait a couple of years for better technology and reduced prices.

While Sony is making a big push for 3D gaming and movies on the Playstation 3, Microsoft has been playing the waiting game with 3D on the Xbox 360. Some say it is because the Xbox 360 is incapable of handling stereoscopic 3D but Microsoft says they are waiting for the market to be ready and leaving it up to developers rather or not to add the technology. Now Chris Lewis, vice president for interactive entertainment business in Europe may have given a hint as to when the console maker will be ready to make a push into 3D gaming.

    A perfectly reasonable prediction; I'd say about the same.

    At least... the TV are still way too expensive. With the prices they are now, it will take at least a couple years to get even close to mainstream prices.

    I have no interest in 3D anything.

    I am perfectly happy with my flat screen TV, my normal DVD player and my VHS VIDEO RECORDER!

    Also it is way too expensive.

    The only way I would be interested is if it could produce a holographic image of Lara Croft into my room which I could do anything I want with it.
