it's not that simple

It may have been better to say "Will you buy you next component(s)/system with 3D in mind?". For example, the next display I get will probably have 3D capability, whether I intend to use it or not is another story. The reason for this is that most manufacturers will probably limit 3D technology to their top models (another justification for a premium price) because they are usually technologically better than their lesser cousins. Look at Panasonic's upcoming plasma line for an example of this condition. Their top of the line models have some features that the lower end models do not. If you want the higher end model, you'll also get 3D capability -- something the other models also don't have (ie, you'll get 3D capability thrown in whether you use it or not).

Guess what? That counts as a vote for 3D because the sold panel is 3D capable, even though that panel is never used for 3D.
