At the risk of sounding like James Cameron, I am not talking about myself – I am quoting Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

I will, however, take credit for correctly predicting a slow start to 3D TVs.  According to Chris Nuttall reporting in the Financial Times, big-screen 3D TVs are not the hottest items this holiday season.  You may have seen in various publications that Best Buy reported this week that slow sales of 3D TVs had contributed to disappointing quarter results.  “We do not agree . . . that 3D TV and [Internet-connected TVs] are the next great things,” said analysts at Wedbush Morgan Securities, citing a lack of 3D content for TVs.  “We remain pessimistic that 3D TV will be widely adopted by any but the most hard-core gamers.”

Ouch.
