I didn't realize that the Gear VR was $300.
Well, I think we are looking at a situation where the initial pricing will be at $199 to $250 and then we will see a price drop of $50 to $100 in a years time.

Think with reasonable business sense, its okay to start higher because:
1. There are naturally lower margins in the beginning or even negative ones
2. There are people willing to pay the higher price
3. As production costs fall, you can pivot towards a cheaper and cheaper price.

The only real drawback to starting high is the chance that you price higher than people are willing to pay and your margins are automatically negative.

So it works like this; Imagine that it costs $300 to produce Lets say the Demand at a given price works like this:
*Example One - PM sells for $350
- You sell 1 million units ($50 million margin)
- Price drops in 6 months to $300 and you sell 500k (meanwhile production costs fall to $275 - $25 million profit)
- After first year you have $75 million in profits with 1.5 million sold
*Example Two - PM sells for $250
- You sell 1.5 million units (Loss of $75 million)
- After 6 months price remains $250 and sells 750k (meanwhile production cost falls to $275 - 18.75 million loss)
- After first year you have $93.75 million in losses with 2.1 million sold

A significant proportion of those who voted who voted don't want to more than $200. I wonder if it's possible to make and sell a VR headset for less than $250.



Don't copy random editorials.

80 dollars so i will wait long



Unless there are games that absolutely cannot be played without VR or it comes bundled with the system, I can't imagine actually buying a set. Maybe for under $100.

If you ask ppl, you will alway have reply lower than reality, and i don't get many ppl, they can buy iphone for 600$+ just for few app and so damn bad battery... but a new gaming experience not worth more than 150$ i don't know what wrong in this world....



What's more interesting about this pole, in my opinion, is that about 80% of the people who currently voted would buy a virtual reality headset.



Idc about the price if there's interesting games coming out for it.

I would pay 350+ if it would also include an omni threadmill or equivalent. Unfortunately, the omny is 700 dollars currently, so that's out of the question for now.



Max $200.

Would no way get it day 1 or in the first 2 years of release.
Needs games to justify purchase.
