It will be all about the content

Will be quite some time before there's even a small variety of 3D "native" content. Then there's the matter if it's content you care about. Have to start somewhere though, the sooner the better. Production costs will significantly go up compared to 2D, especially for "real life" (not CGI) content, so we can be sure that most of the stuff the filmistas live for, the typically indie/lower-budget stuff, will remain 2D for quite some time.

I'm glad there's some enthusiasm for 3D. For myself, I'm happy to wait it out until it's established. No hurry, there's nothing really to see yet... I wonder how many quality (non-gimmicky) 3D films they can put out a year? Ten? Even after 10 years that's not many, hopefully it'll snowball. Can they recover the increased production costs, and make *more* $$ from 3D? That's what will determine the 3D success for movies. If proportionately a 2D film investment makes more, then that's what they'll do. Certainly they won't take a lot of outre chances in 3D. For 3D games I have no doubt they'll make $$.
