3D Console Gaming, useless feature for most people

3D televisions are new and pricy, to make things worse is the fact that they need glasses that are very expensive as well. The average cost of a 3D TV is around $1800, with glasses costing around $150. After tax we are seeing a minimum of $2,000. (USD).  The adoption rate of HD was slow because of the economy but now HDTVs are now close to the same percentage of SDTVs in the general public.  
 
The reason why I bring all this up is the fact that PS3 and the 360 (to a lesser) are starting to push 3D hard core and I feel that it is a waste of money for them because such a small percentage of people can take advantage of it. Is this another example of the gaming industry getting ahead of itself?  
 
Will you spend $2,000(USD) on a 3D tv just for gaming RIGHT NOW? (not in a few years, has to be right now)

It's never going to be mandatory.  This technology isn't accessible to everyone as several have eye problems, preventing them from experiencing the 3D.  If you don't like it, ignore the feature and just make as if it doesn't exist.  It's not for you and that's fine, just leave it be.  Leave those who actually want to play with 3D play it.  To each his own.  It's just like enabling or disabling rumble in video games: not everyone likes rumble so not everyone leaves it on.  It's not mandatory.

And no, I wouldn't spend money on a 3D enabled television right now as I don't even have an HDTV, at the moment. "

Agreed, it's just too soon to push this technology.

I could go on the net and find the exact same thing people said about HD TV and Blu Ray
 
But y'know what. I actually agree. 3D gaming is a waste of time now (developers wise).
 
What we're seeing now are the publisher that are trying to claim "FIRST!" on the 3D gaming "feature".
The devs are merely following orders, hopefully the core content does not suffer from it
 
Maybe on the next gen of consoles, where hopefully everybody already adopts 3D TVs. I.. still haven't adopt LED TV yet =(

3D makes my head hurt .  

" @FluxWaveZ:   I am asking "is it a waste of time for the console manufacturers, or developers right now?" "

I think my HDTV cost more than that, but no, we'd have no use for one. I'm not a big fan of the effect.

There are about four million threads on this.

It will never be mandatory no.
