3D Playstation Gaming Sooner Than Expected

3D Playstation gaming can be coming much faster than anyone had ever expected… With only about 40% of the current Playstation users utilizing the HD technology currently at their finger tips, no one was really expecting for Playstation to be pushing for the next generation display technology. But Sony is.

The Sony 3D Bravia is a 3D TV, yeah we said 3D… We have a video below from CES 2009 that talks about some of the progress that had been completed on the 3D TV, but word is Sony has come miles since this video was created.

This is far more than a rumor, or even spectulation… This is going to be in the next generation of console from Sony.

The Financial Times has a great report outlining some very key points about the future of Sony, and the 3D technology, but the most important quote for gamers is…

Due to speak today at the IFA technology trade show in Berlin, Sir Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, will announce plans not only to sell 3D Bravia television sets, but to make Sony’s Vaio laptop computers, PlayStation 3 games consoles and Blu-ray disc players compatible with the technology.

Now read that carefully, they are referring to the Playstation 3 being a 3D console in the not too distant future… Is it a typo, speculation, were they referring to the Playstation 4, or are we really going to see changes of that magnitude to the Playstation 3? Many speculate that the Playstation 3 console will experience massive changes before the console is fazed out for the next generation.

Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has been recorded stating the “3D train is on the track–and we’re the ones to drive it home.” This is just one more display of Sony wanting to push above and beyond the compitention and offer the best available gaming experience. Bringing the 3D technology to the Playstation 3 will bring in such a greater value on, what is already the best buy for your dollar, the third generation Playstation console.

With the IFA trade show just around the corner, we are likely to hear more very soon!

Playstation 4 to use Sony 3D Technology

Playstation 4 is believed by many to be coming in the next couple of years, and coming strong… The main reason it is expected to do so well is what Sony was showing off at the last CES. This year Sony had at their booth 3D HDTV technology! By wearing 3D glasses, and set up on a custom 3D HDTV, there is a gaming experience like no other…

Yes there are some hurtles to get past, such as no one yet owns a 3D HDTV, and there are some minor technology gaps to jump to get this into the millions of households who will desire it. But the Sony Playstation area at this years CES has the technology in action, and supporting some of the best and most graphic Playstation 3 titles. This was an experience that simply cant be adequately explained in words, there is nothing like having your game jump out at you.

The Sony booth with the 3D Playstation technology was a hit, and sparked more curiosity than any other booth at this years CES.  Sony has yet to release plans for the Playstation 4, or plans to retool any of their games to a 3D standard, but why else would they have shown off that they could?

Many spectulate that this was just to get the gamers mouth wet, cause lets face it seeing your enemies charge you in 3D is worlds better than shaking around a couple of joysticks… The Wii is one of the leading selling consoles today for the simple reason, its more than a gaming console, it is a at home gym… So it gained market share that no other console had yet stepped in, when the next generation of Playstation comes out, expect it to have many of the same features in game play such as the live action play and movable controllers, and hopefully with some 3D technology integrated.

Sony PS4 to be 3d

One of the biggest Playstation 4 Rumors out right now is that the Sony PS4 will be the first ever 3-d console, not just offering a couple of badly done 3-d games, but a complete line of the most advanced 3-d games to ever hit the market. At CES 2009, the Consumers Electronics Associations expo, Sony debuted a 3d gaming experience like no other…

The future of gaming is looking nice, and as  always it looks like the new world will be led by sony…

With the pairing of these new technologies amazing things could happen in households around the world.
