A survey from research firm Interpret LLC has found that 28 per cent of gamers surveyed think that 3D detracts from gameplay, with only 22 per cent preferring 3D. On the 3DS front, 13 per cent don’t use the 3D function on their handheld at all.
The survey, which spoke with over 1600 gamers, also found that 56 per cent felt that 3D was best experienced with a console and 3D television, with only 7 per cent saying that the 3D experience was best with a handheld.
In addition, 37 percent of respondents reported feelings of dizziness and nausea associated with 3D entertainment in general, up from 30 per cent in last year’s survey.
Personally, I’m not surprised by the results. The 3DS makes me go cross-eyed and the 3D function on my TV has been turned on once in the 10 months that I’ve had it. 3D just isn’t for me. How about you? If the survey sample was the Kotaku community, what would the results be? Are you a 3D enthusiast? Or could you not care less? Let us know what you think!
