News Corp COO Chase Carey has dismissed industry claims that 3D TV will be as successful as High-Definition TV.
Speaking to the Hollywood Radio Television Society on Tuesday, Carey said the 3D TV will ultimately have just a niche role in the nation's living rooms, reports TheWrap.com.
Carey, who was previously CEO of DIRECTV, a strong booster of 3D TV, said some consumers will use the 3D set for certain sporting events and movies.
"(But 3D TV) isn't the second coming of HD, and if you say it will have the speed of adoption that HD had, I'm not buying that," Carey said.
Many industry officials have tried to compare the slow adoption of the 3D TV to the slow advancement of the HDTV a decade ago. The Consumer Electronics Association has estimated that only 1.1 million 3D TVs will be in homes by year's end. But TV makers and other 3D TV defenders say that consumers will eventually embrace the new format as they did the high-def set.
