Xbox 360 in 3D may miss out!Published by hq_hacker_girl on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Xbox 360, Microsoft has recently been discussing the issues of bringing out a new console and bringing 3D into action. Unfortunately for us they have decided to put these features on hold while Sony is well under way of making this happen.
The Xbox product manager, Aaron Greenberg, was at CES when he said: “We’re unsure what level of interest there is from consumers to really want a 3D experience in the living room. Many, many years from now when it becomes a reality, we absolutely can support it.” and “there’s a lot of challenges about 3D in the living room. I don’t know about you, but when I play games or watch TV, I’ve got my phone, I’ve got all kinds of things going on. I get up, I get down, I’m looking outside at the weather and it’s…I’m not in a dark theater, wearing glasses, staring at a screen. I think it’s just a different environment.”
Where as Howard Stringer, the CEO and President of Sony Sony said: “We intend to take the lead in 3D. We are the only company fully immersed in every part of the 3D value chain”.
As well as 3D being discussed at CES, so was the upcoming of the new Xbox console. Not only have they put a hold on 3D gaming but they are also putting a hold on the next upcoming console. David Hufford, senior director of Xbox product management said “There is no need to launch a new console, because we’re able to give this console new life either with software upgrades or hardware upgrades like Project Natal. The Xbox 360 was designed for a long life, and I don’t even know if we’re at the midpoint yet.”
It is believed that Microsoft has made this decision by looking at what other companies are doing and then decided based on these observations. Although they have decided to put these features on hold, they feel pretty confident as Nintendo are still half a generation behind with their hardware and a full generation behind with their online offerings while Sony are battered and bruised by losses, especially from their PlayStation division.
