That's fair, but I don't think that's an issue with the quality of price you're getting for the price. 800p with nothing but a few tech demo games for $350 (the price of DK1) plus the price of extra motion controllers is much weaker of a value proposition than 720p with a bunch of premium, quality, exclusive games for only $100. I'm not saying the Switch won't be worse. I'm saying it won't matter because it'll be good enough. |
Yeah but you're missing the point entirely, the DK1 was a terrible, terrible device, and just intended as an early prototype, the DK2 had a significantly better screen but was still fairly poor, only the final commercial release got things right by increasing the resolution even further.
The switch has a resolution BELOW the first ever rift prototype, which, as I can say from owning one, is an experience that I am frankly surprised didn't put people off of VR for good, it was THAT bad.
And the other thing is, headsets like Rift, vive and PSVR have the display in a sealed unit, no dust or crap gets on the screens which ruins the immersion, a switch screen would already be fairly poor because of the resolution, add to that smudges and fingerprints on the display itself and it gets worse.
