It's funny people in the comments mention that they did not buy games exclusive to the monitor manufacturer. It's true but it also reminded me of the 3D movies wars of 2010. Major CE manufacturers all got exclusive rights to the parts of a small 3D movie library and made these titles available only with the HW purchase. E.g. Panasonic had Avatar so to watch Avatar in 3D you had to buy a Panasonic TV, Samsung had How To Train Your Dragon, Sony had a bunch of Sony titles and I don't remember if LG had anything. We all know how this turned out for the home 3D.
- usrusr 10y agoAre you implying that 3D would be in a different position now if Sony owners had the opportunity to sit through Avatar a bit earlier? 3D certainly did not fail due to lack of hardware adoption. In that metric, 3D has won. It just turned out to be one of the many, many features that are only important to check boxes in a product comparison matrix.
- pandaman 10y agoNot quite. I am saying that the already small library of 3D titles had been further fragmented and this had a negative impact on 3D adoption.
