The pricing should fall incredibly rapidly on VR, because when you add it up, there's really not much to speak of : LCD Screens, lenses, housing, sensors, connector, some leds, etc. Thanks to Cell phone prices plummeting like crazy and quality increasing rapidly, all of this stuff is dropping in price like a rock on the supply side. PSVR standalone could hit $199 pretty easily once economy of scale kicks in, and I also expect $199 PC VR headsets no later than fall of 2017. By that time, we may well be looking at AMD RX560 and Nvidia 1150 4GB cards selling for $149 and less that can do VR @ 60FPS with decent details (970+ Performance). |
I doubt we will see 199 PC Headsets any time soon the lenses of those things are really expensive and huge easily the highest cost on those things. The Screens are limited and need to be much much better in the future 4k per eye minimum. The tracking necessary for good roomscale VR will cost alot too. The price will not fall below 500 in 2017.
