Sony Still Believes In A 3D Future For PS3
Sony isn’t giving up when the going gets tough. Despite poor market reception for 3D technology, Sony believes the PlayStation 3 is only “scratching the surface” when it comes to 3D gaming.
“Looking at the future of 3D, I think we’ve really only just begun to realize its potential as a creative medium," Sony London Studios manager Mick Hocking recently told IndustryGamers. "With the combination of 3D and motion control gaming with PlayStation Move, I think titles like Resistance 3 are just scratching the surface of what’s possible.”
Hocking later added, “If you look at what PlayStation is doing now and the innovations that are being worked on in our Studios in 3D gaming, we’re living in one of the most thrilling eras to be a gamer.”
We agree that it is an exciting time to be a gamer, but given recent trends, we wonder if the 3D revolution will catch on before the PS3 is taken off the market. The 3DTV sales haven’t taken off as much as the industry's hardware giants had hoped, and Nintendo discovered that 3D gaming handhelds are not in high demand, either.
