Xbox 360 Claimed “Fully 3D Capable”

Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg in conversation with G4TV has attempted to share in the press hubbub of CES’s recent 3D explosion, stating that “from the technical standpoint, we are fully 3D capable’. In a trademark, underhand put down, Greenberg extolled exactly what our recent poll suggested.  ‘œI think right now we’re unsure what level of interest there is from consumers to really want a 3D experience in the living room’. He followed,  ‘œmany, many years from now when it becomes a reality we absolutely can support it”, in a veiled attempt at keeping wardrox and company on side.

Mirroring my own standpoint as to one of the inevitable failings of the medium, Microsoft’s spokesperson suggested ‘œwhen I play games or watch TV, I’ve got my phone, I’ve got all kinds of things going on”, acknowledging “I think it’s just a different environment …  I’m not in a dark theatre, wearing glasses’.

Casual commentators have suggested that tech displayed by Microsoft thus far is decidedly old in its approach to 3D and a far cry from Sony’s long discussed firmware update for the PlayStation 3. Whilst certainly not rendering Greenberg’s statement as incorrect, it does call into question just how “capable” the machine really is at present.
