Mark,
One thing to keep in mind when evaluating the 3DO is that the current
crop of titles are "first time" development efforts — the developers are
just learning how to make the hardware "sing", as it's a new platform.
That implies that there is "more and better" to come in the future.
Contrast this with the relatively "old"/mature CD32 technology (i.e.,
people have learned from years of experience of how to push the hardware
of the Amiga technology). CD-I falls somewhere in the middle of this
range, but the current titles are not generally first-timers, which means
that they already benefit from prior experiences.
Technologically speaking, 3DO is the most promising of the three, IMHO.
Of course, we in this forum know that there's no real correlation between
the better technology and the successful product.
