First Sony 3D TVs Available From June [Sony 3D TVs to Take on 3D TV Offerings From Samsung & Panasonic as 3DTV War Heats Up]

Sony has confirmed what we already reported back last month – that being that its new 3D TV units, which are already available to pre-order via it’s Sony Style online portal, will indeed commence shipping as of June.

Of course Sony isn’t alone in the emerging 3D TV market as both Samsung and Panasonic have a range of 3D TV units that are set to hit retail before Sony’s models (Panasonic’s first 3D TVs are set to become available in the US this month with Samsung’s 3D TVs set scheduled to hit later in the US this month also, though they are already available in South Korea) but Sony’s confidence that it’ll claim a large share of the emerging 3D TV market from the outset remains wholly unshaken – with Sony expecting to sell around 25 million LCD TV units between April 2010 and March 2011, around 10% of which it expects to be 3D TVs.

Of course the Sony Playstation 3 console’s up and coming 3D capabilities will doubtless help to invigorate the market – particularly for Sony from a marketing perspective – and this is especially the case as industry insiders believe it’ll specifically be gamers that queue up to become early adopters.
