Havent sony already got one ready?

Sony has launched at least 2 headsets, called XM-1 and 2 or something like that, but they are more oriented towards watching movies in 3D, rather than playing games.

It's not the same thing.

Oh man... I didn't get a chance to look like a moron by using that damn thing! =(

that depends on its specification, and if they allow it to work on more than just the PS4.

If, for example, it had a higher resolution than oculus but would work when connected to a PC, and was more comfortable than oculus (trust me, its not comfy after 20 minutes), then I could see it doing quite well.

As far as addon devices go, personal HMD vr is far more interesting to me than ps move, wiimote and kinect.

Im with Kowenicki on this one. Doomed. I doubt they are able to find an economical replacement which means production will be discontinued. Maybe Nintendo can buy the technology/company and use their sources/engineers

Either that, or they just became an easy aquisition target for Sony/MSoft/Samsung/Google, ect.  They've lost all leverage with this annoucement and now have no reason to keep on without changing their entire target market. 

I figure this tech is useless for anyone other than the big three. Considering Sony is suppose to have their own and I dont think it works with MS' vision (who knows though) then that would leave Nintendo. Gimmick that has potential to hit the core and casual crowds is just like nintendo (spending money however isnt)

You seriously think that theyre going to get this far, have john carmack on board, 50,000 current owners, a large portion of developers and supportive community, and 15 million towards completing a retail model, and just throw the towel in because they have run out of components for the current revision to make the DEVELOPMENT version?

you SERIOUSLY believe this?,.. wow.. just wow

Next you'll tell me Nintendo will just scrap the WiiU because a part theyre using is no longer being produced, too.

All it takes is a hardware revision using an alternative part, it isn't rocket science.

I doubts Nintendo goes for something like this. Again.

They have said many times that their focus is kids, and how can you sell a headset to someone who' head will grow as generation goes on? Can the same piece of hardware fit the head of a 8 yo kid just like the head of someone with 14 or the one of a full grown adult? I doubt it.

But I would love to play Metroid that way!

I think it will be a success in the long run, Oculos Rift or a similar device from another manufacturer. I want one so badly. $400 would be a reasonable price in my opinion.
