The CEA forecasts that 1.05 million 3-D TV sets will be sold this year (2010), translating to $2.05 billion in revenue generated by all those sales. This figure is lower than earlier CEA forecasts of 4 million units.
According to an article posted by DealerScope [www.Dealerscope.com] on 2/25/2010, “Manufacturers are counting on 3D to accelerate the replacement cycle the way HD did,” said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at NPD. “Early adopters will look past significant price premiums and limited optimized content in the name of bringing home even more of the cinematic experience as they find 3D capabilities included among other premium features.”
The NPD Group [http://www.npd.com/] survey found that around one-third of consumers are at least "somewhat interested" in purchasing a 3D TV. No details were provided in the definition of “somewhat interested.” According to the article, “concerns remaining among consumers… cost, convenience, and content availability.”
Skype TV [http://elifespaces.com/blog/2010/02/27/is-your-home-network-ready-for-skype-tv/] looks much better than this 3-D!

I wish that I could post a picture of my wife and daughter trying to watch the 3D Grammy presentation the other evening. What a hoot! It was fun but I can't see it catching on.
