There won’t be a shortage of 3D games to play when 3D gaming hits the PS3. According to Sony, a lot of first-party studios are hard at work on such games for the Sony home console.

Here’s what Ian Bickerstaff, senior engineer with Sony Computer Entertainment’s UK-based stereoscopic 3D team, told Gamasutra, “It’s all a bit confidential, but a lot, let’s put it that way. We’ve been amazed by the enthusiasm from the developers.”

Bickerstaff also touched on 3D gaming’s biggest hurdle: the 3D-capable TVs. “I think [3D gaming uptake is] going to depend on the uptake of 3D televisions,” he said.

“We’re not going to spend crazy, crazy amounts of money [on 3D games] expecting everyone tomorrow to have 3D TVs, clearly,” said Bickerstaff. “But, we believe this is the future, and three or four years from now, you won’t be able to buy a television that doesn’t have a 3D capability.”

Sony plans to release a line of 3D-capable Bravias this summer.
