Reasons why 3D is a massive failure

1. It's too soon. People just bought hdtv's

2. It's not necessary

3. The economy sucks. Why would anyone in their right mind buy a 3d tv?

4. It's an add on and another lame attempt at one which is really expensive.

5. There is no support at launch

What are these companies thinking? Another huge loss.

And that is a massive failure because the trend is already in full effect and we haven't seen any indication of its success right?

1. You need expensive glasses and an expensive TV for the effect.

2. It's more of a distraction than an enhancement.

Every new tech has it's distractors. Heck, some people are still against telephones.

Im starting to change my mind about 3D actually, its pretty cool if you test it and see it for yourself, i watched a few movies in 3D so far and each time make me more happy about watching them on 3D, i wont change to a 3D TV anytime soon tho, remember its optional

That's the thing though. It's cool to look out. wow. I'm not saying it isn't. Will anyone buy it? It's not necessary. didn't people try this 30 years ago. It failed then. People don't care about 3d. why would it succeed now especially considering how the economy is. It's one of those fad things that people don't need. Yay I saw jaws in 3d. It was great. woot. I'm not buying it.

It's not something that people are willing to bet their wallets on.

Whats wrong with using telephones? They're cheap. :D

I have very poor vision in my right eye so it doesn't even work properly!

1. It's too soon. People just bought hdtv's This may be true. But new technology needs to start some place, and starting now is a good thing.

2. It's not necessaryagain YOU are CORRECT, but for some it will be great for them for others it will be meaningless

3. The economy sucks. Why would anyone in their right mind buy a 3d tv? Why do people buy many things... this is just another uncessery item.

4. It's an add on and another lame attempt at one which is really expensive. IT is not an ADD ON, it is something that adds to the experience but not an add on.

5. There is no support at launch What does it matter. There will be a few games at the beginning and more later on.

What are these companies thinking? Another huge loss.

piercetruth34

It depends on how much they spend extra on making the game in 3D. cost vs revenue! IF it adds some and brings more to your game or thinking about your game then it is worth it. IF not then no sweat they will not make the game in 3D. why such anger over something you do not want??? No skin off your back, right?!

There is no requirement that you must play any game in 3D and all the games that use 3D can still be played with out it! so ... why are you even hating so much??

None of that is particularly relevant.

The premium paid to add 3D to an HDTV is significantly LESS than the premium paid by early adopters of HDTVs. What this means is that a relatively small amount of manufacturing/sales will quickly drive down the cost curve for 3D TV...much faster than when HDTV first came out.

Because of this, the 3D portion will quickly become a modest premium over the cost of a similar regular HDTV. Once that happens, if you are in the market for an HDTV then many will pay a smallish premium for a 3D version. It is not like you are giving anything up, you are just gaining a feature.

There will be more than enough adopters. Many of those are going to be people who haven't bought any HDTV yet and will buy a 3D version with better overall tech for half the price of what I bought my last couple of HDTVs for a few years ago. Bank on it.

1. It's too soon. People just bought hdtv's

piercetruth34

Some people don't even have HD, and with the digital switch-over, lots of people in the UK will have to buy new TV's or boxes.

how can if fail if it has not started? doesn't the 3DS negate all your point?

1.yes
2. major yes
3. super yes
4.very true
5.what?

3D in time sounds great, maybe not yet for me due to cost but 5 years maybe? sounds better to me than Natal, just me though.

As far as entertainment goes anything the mainstream likes tends to be an epic fail to anyone with a creative brains (avid artists, musicians, even people who play video games like a sport). There are exceptions...

3d could work, but not now. Wait 10-20 more years.

I am a playstation fan and I hate the 3d fad they are beginning.

Various industries have decided that the market wants 3D, so you're gonna get it whether you like it or not. What I don't like is that you need to wear those goofy glasses.

Unfortunately innovations like this aren't based on the budget of your average person.Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be an *** but that's what builds the hype for when it becomes commom place , just like hdtvs.Just like certain features in more expensive cars that slowly start appearing in the cheaper ones.That's how it goes , they're not a company that rely on a single economic class.

I have very poor vision in my right eye so it doesn't even work properly!

Me too, but mine is left.... anyways, I don't think you will ever like 3D no matter what. I don't see a reason to.

i got my self a 3d tv for my living room i just want the best;)

I agree with OP. It's not going to catch on with games.

finalstar2007

The problem with 3DTVs is precisely that it's not optional. Sure, you can change to 2D mode, but if you're watching 3D, everyone needs to put glasses and watch 3D. If you have family/friends over and not enough glasses someone will be left out.

Because Sony is trying to sell new TVs that no one needs, that is why it is a massive failure. Starting to see a trend here for Sony.

1 good thing:

cheaper HDTVs.

Everything in your house started off as some incredibly expensive product. Microwaves, refrigerators, televisions, COLOR televisions, HDTV's, and DVD players. I paid 200 bucks for my first DVD player and thirty bucks for a featureless movie. Bread_or_Decide

It will catch on slowly, like Blu-Ray did.FIipMode

think the biggest point is the tech is just not very good yet

My complaint is that it still doesnt really even work that well. I mean yeah it is 3D but with all this money you have to spend and all this technology we have now I want it to jump out of my tv and punch me and the face and it doesnt even come close to doing that

3d tv will be awesome. it is only too early for those who are not early adopters. just 4 years ago yhou were one of those who said that bluray would fail. just 7 years ago many said that dd would not work now look at arcade and psn games not to mention netflix. 3d will catch on faster than hdtv. in just three years when the new box and wii come out and penetration is deeper you will realize that 3d is not a fad but it is here to stay like hdtv and bluray.
