Microsoft not wild about 3D gaming

Destructoid had an interview with Microsoft's Xbox Director of Product Management, Aroon Greenberg, and heard the company doesn't expect 3D will become a hit in the living room anytime soon.
"I think there's a lot of questions, to be honest," Greenberg told us in a meeting here at CES. "3D is great in the theater, but for the living room? I think we're a long ways away from that."

While the Xbox 360 currently supports 3D with games like Avatar, Greenberg points to things like required sitting distances and the need for glasses as potential hurdles.

He adds: "If the consumers want it? Fine."

"In the theater there's nothing between you and the experience, but as you have other people in the room and other people walking by, well, it's not the same experience."
