Can't see VR working on Switch for commercial reasons mainly. Their pricing structure destroys the budget entry VR model and docked performance of the console looks weaker than expected. Most importantly they haven't made it a major part of the Switch promotion and without a healthy adoption rate there is little reason to make VR software. It feels pretty much like the VR potential of the Switch is dead.
If Nintendo don't abandon the Switch sometime this year and it gets to a revised model that would be the model to introduce VR but the appalling range of limited games means I really don't think there is much to see here. I think android is the future of budget VR. I love my Arealer Sky VR headset. The Sony PSVR is the logical next step for someone who wants something more powerful.
I don't agree that 720p is too low a resolution though I just think combining that with a $100 plastic headset and $60 games is just not commercially viable. |
Yes, the games need to be smaller, inexpensive titles that offer a shorter experience. Nobody is going to have the Switch strapped to their head for several hours. |
I don't think Nintendo does inexpensive anymore. Android is full of light short VR experiences, most of them free. Nintendo would probably embaress themselves trying to charge high sums for minor VR titles converted from android.
