Microsoft Talking 3D Gaming "Soon"

Sony has been making a big deal about 3D. So too has Nintendo. Until now, Microsoft has been fairly silent on the subject. Looks like that's about to change.

Andrew Oliver from Blitz (Dead to Rights Retribution) has told Develop "Microsoft are going to be making an announcement about [3D] at some point soon."

Great. Et tu, Microsoft?

No timeframe was given, but with E3 beginning next week, that seems as good a time as any for the company to jump onto the 3D bandwagon.

From Kotaku.com

-_- Everyone's gonna jump in now, I can tell it, first motion sensing and touch, now its gonna be 3-D and mind-reading... lo

I realize 3D wasn't Nintendo's idea, it has been used in media for a while now, but does anyone else find it odd how Microsoft and Sony do things right after Nintendo decides to do them? For example the Wii's motion controls were a hit, so Microsoft and Sony made their own (Natal and Move).

of course it wasnt nintendos idea

It's called not being creative at the moment, and bandwagons.

So they basically let Nintendo try it out first to make sure it will turn out alright and then come out of no where and try to copy it and make it better, makes sense.

yup, but it fails, cuz their too late and no one likes it for being copiers.... and why get ANOTHER motion sensing tool when you got one? their goes 70 million sales.... lol.
