Go figure. Wednesday Bloomberg said that Panasonic Corp. has already sold out of 3D HDTVs in the U.S. after one week of availability. Hitoshi Otsuki, the senior managing director heading Panasonic’s overseas operations, said that the company is now taking back-orders.
"It’s a great opportunity to turn around our TV business," he said without providing specific figures.
On March 10 Panasonic became the first manufacturer to sell 3D HDTVs in the U.S. The 50-inch plasma units went on sale at Best Buy and included a pair of glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player. The entire package retailed for a whopping $2,899.99.
Looks like not-so-cash-strapped consumers are really digging the new 3D-at-home technology. Is it still a fad, or is 3D technology here to stay?
