Sony’s Newsletter talks 3DTV sales at 46 million by 2013

Sony put together its first 3D industry newsletter (tips Matt). Not surprisingly they have a story covering the GigaOM Pro market research group that says 3DTV shipments should reach 46 million by 2013.
While the initial shipments of flat-panel 3DTVs will be small in 2010 due to premium pricing strategies by the large TV manufacturers, volumes are likely to grow quickly in just a few short years as manufacturers begin to implement 3-D as a standard feature across their HD flat-panel product lines”, said Alfred Poor, author of the report and publisher of HDTV Almanac in the U.S.
I’m assuming that this number would include “3D ready” TVs that support the 120mhz refresh rates. Sony is well positioned to bring the 3DTV market into the home if they are able to leverage their future Playstation 3 systems and the newest Blu-Ray standards. They are in the process of developing active shutter glasses to be used in the future.
Other than working with James Cameron on custom built cameras, Sony has big plans to showcase 3DTV during the 2012 Olympic games, which is a story we will be following closely. Read more in their newsletter.
