TO be honest i've never even enjoyed 3D gaming, I can't even see the 3D on my 3DS that well, half the time I don't know if I am actually seeing 3D or just missing something...
So yeah I don't like 3D gaming...so far.
Plus most of the 3DS games look better in 2D anyway.
>_> who even started this whole 3D fad?
it was James Cameron's Avatar wasn't it?

I'm pretty sure that this study is pretty off. I'm going to say that 3D is going to be the standard a few years from now, just like HD.
I can't even see what that is in the first place, but if i could i think i wouldn't like it, it seems like a gimmick, but who knows... err... better yet...i guess i will never now.
I really don't get why xbox was included in the survey. Either way I couldn't care less about 3D until it's either affordable, or till they improve the tech (NO glasses).
Well Iam having to counter argue with that santiagodelossantos I am not meaning to be nasty to you , but people play games to get away from real life sometimes not all the time. I am thinking many people do like real life :) I am sorry if I offended you.
I don't agree with that. I would hard pressed to say more than 5% of gamers are AGAINST it. They are against it being shoehorned into games and forced to pay a significantly higher price for something that is poorly implemented.
I never have and never will be interested in 3D. It has nothing to do with cost either. I buy a new HD set every couple years and I own all current gen consoles. It just doesn't do anything for me. And the constant obnoxious marketing done by Sony, Nintendo, and Hollywood has made me dislike it even more. They don't get it, everyone is aware of 3D, (they have been since the 80's) they just do not care. They should focus their time and money on fidelity, weight, and heat.
It feels a like a novelty. Just this week I got smartphone into my office with a glasses free 3D display. I messed with it for a few minutes and put it back in 2D mode. I simply have no desire to consume content that way. It provides zero demonstrable advantages, yet has several drawbacks.
51% of gamers haven't played Child of Eden on PS3 in stereoscopic 3D then. I've been fucking mesmerized by it for the last two days. It's quite simply the most gorgeous and convincing use of the technology I've ever seen.
Opinions are opinions and all that, but I genuinely can't see how someone could argue against 3D gaming if they'd seen this game.

It seems to me, the majority of people that go into 3D go into it with the mindset that they're going to hate it and the moment they experience even slight eye-strain, it just gives them a reason to validate their preconceptions. Or maybe I'm just in the lucky few that 3D creates absolutely no problems for. Its also quite hilarious that so many gamers are against it and treat it like 3D is the harbinger of their demise or something. Its a fun gimmick. That's it. It makes my GT5 have a little depth and that's kinda cool. Its not revolutionary. Nobody is claiming it is (well, I suppose some are *ahem*sony*ahem*). So lighten up people.
What I don't get is 3D isn't something you can force on someone unless you go to the movies and they only show the 3d version of the film...But just the fact it exists seems to be a reason to hate on it for a lot of people even when there are those of us that enjoy it they just don't want it to exist.
Me I enjoy 3D I have no issues at all with it, like HD it is a choice so yeah 3D consoles can keep on coming...

I want 3D to be available to everyone but... it has to be optional. I love 3D. I don't have a problem watching anything 3D, whether active shutter, polarized, or red/blue. But I understand that there are people who do.
Video games are the easiest to convert to 3D. NVidia has 3D on the fly (even red/blue) for DX9/10/11 games even if the game wasn't made for it with some spectacular results. (See Microsoft Flight Simulator X.) All games technically can be done in 3D, but the 3D absolutely has to be optional.

It seems to me that one of your eyes doesn't work correctly. Maybe you should have them checked.

Fancy that, gamers don't really care about a cliche gimmick that has cropped up every 3-5 years for the past .... since we have had, well, photography.
Doesn't help that 3D Televisions are expensive, 3D doesn't magically add something meaningful to every game and the major reason the movie industry was backing it as hard as they were was largely because it acts as a layer of built in piracy protection. Since the oll sneak a camcorder into a theater and toss it onto (insert torrent site here), doesn't work with 3D.
Actually you should expect 3D movies in the theaters to jump in price shortly because Sony is going to stop subsidizing (see providing theaters with free 3D glasses) 3D movies.

weird, consumers against something corporations are trying to force down our throats for more profit? go figure.
It's almost as if people don't realise how long 3d has been around. The 80's? please in motion pictures the tech is approaching it's 100 year anniversary. It's never caught on for long because it adds practically nothing to the image and frankly aint all that special to begin with. Admittedly I do see more practical value for games (say judging distances in racing games) but I can still only give slightly above giving no shit at all.
I would never be against up and coming technology. If 10 years from now 3DTVs were like $400 for a 32 inch, the technology is evolved to make it look better and/or less strenuousness on the eyes. Then it will probably be as much of a standard as HDTVs are today. Gamers need to stop senselessly hating every single thing they hear about.
3D is great when it supports a game rather than run it.
For example, the avatar movie. Say what you will about the story. The visuals are amazing in 3d. Most other movies just used cheap pop at you tricks.

3d was a gimmick when sony pushed it. Then nintendo pushed it and it's actually pretty awesome all of a sudden.....I kinda just want the fad to die. All the 3d talk is just annoying. I watched avatar, i didn't really feel it added much. I continually took off my glasses because of how dark it was anyway.
"I can't wait for this 3D fad to be over..."
Yeah because god forbid someone else be allowed to enjoy something you don't personally like, you selfish asshole.

So at least 22% of those polled were idiots? Yeah, I'll take a 3d console, but a 3d tv? Forget that shit!"
What, did they just sit in line at a busy gamestop and poll people buying a new CoD?

I have only done 3D gaming on my 3DS and I like it,so I guess you can count me as pro-3D.
My vision is pure shit,but I've never had anything more than a slight headache after a long session (mostly OoT),so I guess I'm lucky.

Weeeeellll people weren't exactly lining-up to get the 3DS...so that should tell you something.
It's cool and all, just not something I'm gonna rush out and buy....besides, I'm broke!

I'll bet if 3D was more affordable these results would be much different.
I felt the same way until I actually had it in my own house.
Honestly,I only have a 3DTV because I wanted a high end plasma,Not 3D. It just happens to be one of the features. Now I'm glad it did.

3D is a cool addition. It's not a cool edition when it detracts from the thing running it (CoD Blops for instance in 3D mode struggles to get 30FPS at 600p) or being touted as the main, amazing new feature that you'll love forever from a platform (3DS).
It's like having bloom in videogames. Sure, it'll look nice if you do it right and horrible if you do it wrong, but removing it isn't going to detract from the experience much at all.

I really enjoy 3d and I have to question how this was done. When given the choice between standard and 3d games at a constant I'd choose standard, but I don't play at constant. I like the choice, and some games do it really well (motor storm apocalypse, mortal kombat)
I would not like a 3d or nothing set up though.

I gotta say,51% means that 3D gaming is growing on people. I'd say a year ago that gap would have far larger, and I'm one of those people who made the change.
In fact I didn't realize how cheap 3D tv's are getting. $800 for a 46" is cheaper than I payed for my HDTV

The 3ds is number 1 worldwide right now. Even if people dont like 3d. It isnt stopping people from buying it
I can watch 3D just fine, and when done well it's awesome. It definitely needs to be glasses free, just for the sake of comfort.
Calling it a gimmick is ridiculous, it's not more a gimmick than HD. It makes things look potentially better and more believable/immersive. Are your eyes a gimmick? I think not.
It's pretty lame that some can't physically use it but it's also kinda pathetic when they damn it for that same reason, as if the better image quality others experience is somehow invalid. Much like HD, it's not like the games experience is much worse off without it, it's just a cool addition.
Also...
What is up with that picture? That's not how 3D works and it's just kinda annoying!

"The undecided 2 percent needs to try the tech out just once -- that's all it takes to make a decision on it."
It's unfortunate that this is the case for some people, because there's a huge range in the quality of various 3D displays and technologies. Chances are, the first one you see isn't going to be the best. Even most of the games they were showing off in 3D at E3 suffered horribly from cross-talk and generally dark picture from active-shutter lenses. Those examples do not do the format justice.
I just bought a Samsung 27" 3D monitor earlier this week and I absolutely love it. The picture is bright and I haven't experienced any significant cross-talk. So far I've played some Portal 2 and Fallout: New Vegas and they both look great. Portal 2 is particularly stunning. I cannot wait to play Unchated 3 in 3D and I'm planning on buying Shadow of the Colossus and Ico soon. Really, the 3D is so good, I'm disappointed that I'll have to play other upcoming games (like Zelda: Skyward Sword) in flat-vision. :(

Eh, I could live without it. I wouldn't pay for something silly like 3D unless it was done REALLY well. But that will take a while. I think the 3DS is on the right track though, with no glasses and a 3D selector.
I like how people say it would add depth to games and allow better distance judgement. Personally, for me, it just kinda fucks with my depth perception. I saw Avatar in 3D and the whole time it kinda made me woozy because of how quickly depths seemed to change.
That and I'm fine with depth perception in traditional 3D landscapes on the 2D plane (the television), so I don't really understand how people would have issues there either.
To each their own I guess.
Regardless, I'd honestly only be opposed if it was made mandatory. Like see, motion controls for the 360 and PS3 are optional, they kinda weren't for a while on the Wii which turned me off. Fun and all, but a gimmick I have no interest in. Same goes with the 3D. If it's just an addition then by all means, have at it, but I want the same quality of gaming in 2D. IE: Watching the Resident Evil movie that was in 3d...looks very, very, weird in 2D.
