THE XBOX ONE WON'T SUPPORT 3D BLU-RAY PLAYBACK AT LAUNCH


Now that Microsoft has adopted
Blu-ray for its upcoming Xbox
One, some of you might have
been wondering if this next-gen
console will support 3D Blu-ray
movies. Well, the answer is no,
or at least not yet. Back in May,
Director of Xbox Programming,
Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson ,
vaguely confirmed 3D and 4K
output on the Xbox One, but his
company has recently told CNET
that the machine will be
shipped without 3D Blu-ray
playback capability. Having said
that, there's still a chance of
adding this feature via an
update later on.
On the other hand, Sony has just
confirmed to us that the PS4
will definitely come with both
3D Blu-ray playback (requires
the 1.50 firmware update and
then a one-time activation) and
3D gameplay (albeit a current
lack of 3D titles ). And while
there's no 4K output for games
just yet, the Japanese giant is
considering adding support for
4K still images and video to the
console. Not that any of this is
going to deter the hardcore
gamers, anyway.
