Uh-oh. It looks like Sony may be having a little problem promoting 3D gaming on the home front. A Japanese survey has revealed that most consumers don’t intend to buy a 3D TV.

Of the 8,957 people who responded to the survey, 67.4 percent said that they have no intention of purchasing a 3D TV. Nearly 70 percent cited the glasses as a major issue, 57 percent said it’s just too expensive, and almost 40 percent said the lack of content affected their decision.

Sony has already started releasing 3D PS3 games in the region. Some 3D programs are also available through Japanese cable operator J:Com. Yep, it’s not a lot, but as the content increases perhaps people would change their mind.
