what about nintendo's vr?

It will release alongside Metroid Prime 4 and Endless Ocean 2. The headset won't use electricity, but instead you'll have to buy an amiibo for each hour of gameplay XD

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_Ocean_2:_Adventures_of_the_Deep

It will launch alongside the new Nintendo portable device the 4DS which will not only allow you portable 3d gaming but also bring on the 4th dimension allowing travel everywhere and any time while gaming? A launch timezone will be time travel back to 2010 so we can experience the launch of Endless Ocean 2 which has been forwards compatible ever since its launch 5 years ago with the future hardware.

OUt of the 2 headsets avaliable ? The way the title is worded it makes it seens like there are 500 different headsets.

The Playstation VR only requires a PS4 to play while the Oculus Rift requires a high end PC.

Given the above it's likely the Playstation VR will launch for a lower price.

Oculus may be more powerful but the PSVR will be cheaper and easier to use.

looks so fun, also this could be a way to market it.

I think I saw this video before. What I think VR could benefi for social gampley is to have what your friend is watching and doing projected into a TV so that he can give feedback of what you ar doing, aka, laugh at you messing up and stuff.

Well, it is more than one.

I can see advantages Sony may have in the VR space. but I feel like in the end what will determine who wins this venture, if any of those VR devices ever get to rise, is who has the killer app for it.

Of course he's gonna say that. His company's profits and by extension his job depend heavily on consoles and console game sales. Sony artificially creating a bonus console can jump GameStop's profits even more, especially if GS hypes it up. Hype's a powerful concept, and it's easy for companies to force onto the public through gullible gamers if The Order or Evolve's pre-launch hype didn't tell you already. Recall that GameInformer is the one who ran those hype trains?

I buy the part where you say Sony being on the front could benefit GameStop more.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I will be curious if Gamestop will have demo kiosks for PSVR as experiencing it is key. On the titles 100+ sounds nice, but I'm more concerned if 5 of them are compelling to me.

And the ps VR will have a much much much higher install base to launch too.  And rapidly increasing by the year.  VR devs will be flocking to Playstation.

Don't you mean devs will be resenting psvr for running on hardware that is far too weak to even run a vr application?

No, I think they'd be happy to have static highly optimized hardware to work with. Obviously what the ps4 can do with its graphics card cannot be done with the PC equivalent.  So we really don't know how good psvr games can look yet
