News from Japan this week shows just how far Blu-ray 3D has come in a relatively short space of time.

According to research from Japanese firm BCN, there are now more 3D Blu-ray players in homes across the country than non-3D players. It reports 57% of all units sold in the run up to Christmas were 3D-enabled, an enormous increase from just 6.7% in September 2010.

The UK’s love for 3D is also reported to be rising, as satellite broadcaster Sky announced it now has more than 70,000 subscribers for its 3D TV channel. It’s estimated that the end of 2010 saw some 140,000 British homes equipped with 3D TV’s, pointing to a rosy outlook for the future of the format and an exciting time for audiences who will see s range of Blu-ray 3D releases in the coming year.
