This is like them giveing up before hand.
PS VR is going to take up like 80% of the VR market.

At a 599$ price point this will never become a huge success story for them.
Oculus Rift lose the early adoption rate race.

Sorry.. But console users don't spend huge ammounts on EXPENSIVE peripherals like PC users do..   Console users complain about $79 controllers..    PC  gamers buy $200 keyboards..   and $200 mice..  and $400-$500 GPUs..     I just don't see a large amount of console owners shelling out $300+ on PS VR..      So I dont think dont think Sony willg et 80% of the market.. Oculus will likely be the leader in 2016....    especially if the PS VR is $399 or more.. 

A 150 dollar xbox controller is sold out, achived great sales.  A nearly useless camera add of for PS4 sold millions.   Kinekt sold 25 million on 360.  

There is a history of seling expensive accesories on consoles, they just you know have to actually be good.  

 

And look how well devs are supporting those.
