X-bit Labs heard at NVIDIA's financial analyst day that stereo 3D will be a part of next-generation game consoles:

"Stereo-3D will be a part of future game consoles," said an exec for Nvidia, during the company's financial analyst day 2011.

Stereo-3D technology from Nvidia Corp. is an excellent gross margin driver for the company; yet it is a controversial technology for the company's graphics business in general as it requires proprietary hardware that needs engaged gamers to buy the appropriate equipment. The tech is not supported widely to maintain the firm's gross margin of over 40%.
