SCEA's John Kroller has announced that the PS3 will receive multiple firmware updates by the summer, making it ready for 3D technology and gaming. He said:
"3D is a major part of our initiatives in 2010 and we're currently developing 3D stereoscopic games to come in conjunction with the launch of Sony's 3D compatible BRAVIA LCD TV in summer 2010. The amazing thing about the PS3's technology is that all PS3 units that exist in homes and markets will be able to play 3D stereoscopic games as well as 3D BD movies through separate firmware upgrades - something that other platforms are unable to do. We'll be announcing actual game titles separately later, but we think that 3D stereoscopic gaming has a ton of potential, particularly in placing consumers within the actual experience."
[...] Mercer believes this because of Sony’s (and Microsoft’s) plan to add motion-based controllers over the next year, as well as Sony’s plan to add 3D support for the PS3 this summer. [...]
