Earlier this year, Sony revealed and demoed 3D technology running on the PlayStation 3 with three separate titles (MotorStorm, WipEout HD, and GT5 Prologue). According to SCEE President David Reeves, the "PlayStation 3 is a link to 3D," adding even more value to the system.
"PS3 is a link to 3D as it is to HD and flatscreen TVs, which is why three HD games were shown at CES. You’re also going to find a number of 3D films coming out in Aug/Sept. But is there convergence in 3D technology – is there confidence? I don’t see it. So we may dip our toe in the water, not this year but possibly next," said Reeves.
Reeves is right. There may not be a large demand for 3D just yet, but with Hollywood releasing more and more 3D-ready films (Coraline, Monsters vs. Aliens) and even television slowly accepting 3D-ready broadcasts (Superbowl), it might not be long until the market shifts and 3D will become popular for console gaming.
