Games comparison and marketplace site Playr2.com hit up 1,001 gamers and found that 51 percent of would not welcome 3D consoles in the future. 47 percent said that they would, though. The undecided 2 percent needs to try the tech out just once — that’s all it takes to make a decision on it.
On the 3D TV front, 73 percent of those polled said that they were not for 3D televisions. 65 percent said that they would purchase the next Xbox product, 3D or no.
