Everybody round these parts knows that the PC and the 3DS both are also capable of stereoscopic 3D. However, most people here seem to mistakenly believe that the PS3 is the first and only console capable of 3D gaming.
Understand this: this is wrong.
The PS3 is not the first games console to do 3D, nor is it the only one.
The first game console that could display stereoscopic 3D was the NES, with several Square published games that could display stereoscopic 3D.
Games such as Rad Racer and 3-D World Runner, both on the NES, were stereoscopic 3D.
Last generation, the Gamecube was fully 3D compatible. However, it never had a 3D game release, so the 3D compatibility was never exploited.
This generation, all three home consoles are 3D compatible. The Wii retains the Gamecube's 3D compatibility, the Xbox 360 is stereoscopic 3D compatible. It's already gotten the first stereoscopic 3D console game this generation, James Cameron's Avatar, and it's getting another one: Saint's Row Drive By. Finally, the PS3 is, as everybody knows, 3D compatible.
Hopefully, this knowledge shall stop PS3 fanboys from insinuating that the PS3 is the first console that can do 3D, or the only one, and that the future of gaming, in the form of 3D, can only be enjoyed on the PS3, because all of that is utter bullcrap. All three home consoles are 3D compatible, and the only reason we hear so much about the PS3's 3D compatibility is because Sony is giving 3D gaming a huge push, if only to sell their 3DTV's.
