Futuresource Consulting has come out with a bold report claiming upwards of 4 million 3DTV’s will be sold worldwide in 2011. The figure could at least double next year to 5 million 3DTVs in the U.S. and 3 million in Western Europe, the market researcher said today. Apparently “year-one adoption of 3DTV is running at a far quicker rate in most territories than it did for high-definition.”
Toshiba’s recent announcement of glasses-free 3DTVs didn’t stop the firm from stating the technology is “at least four years away” from being made available in large sets for the home and up to seven years away from reaching “mass-market pricing.”
So 3D adoption is on the rise, and no wonder, it’s coming to the market from all sides. Major TV makers, like Samsung, Panasonic, Vizio, and others are adding 3D technology to some of their sets. Sony has their team of developers creating 3D video games for the PlayStation 3, and the sony 3D home theaters. The console also supports 3D Blu-ray playback.
The march of 3D is on, and the momentum suggests nothing in it’s path is going to stop it.
