So with the VR hype happening, and the likely chance Nintendo isn't making there own VR device anytime soon, do you guys think it's possible Nintendo is teaming up with HTC Vive, Oculus or any other VR company?
This way Nintendo doesn't have to dedicate there time to make one but they can still get the VR games and the NX could be fused with the VR hype.
Maybe... if they made a deal with sony.
Imagine if the NX could use the PS VR as well.
I think its abit to risky for nintendo to do their own VR headset, but I could see them useing anothers headset.
These headsets are expensive, and the R&D can be huge for such a device.
If it happends it makes the most sense if they team up with sony.
3rd party VR games from sony would also be playable on the NX (if it was equally powerfull to the PS4).
Nintendo cant afford to do a risky venture like VR headsets, with how small their console market is, and how costly R&D are for it.
Also imagine if NX flops, sells only 15m units or so like the Wii U, and then only 10% of the nintendo users buy the VR headset.
That probably recoup the costs for R&D, and the amount of units wouldnt be big enough to support nintendo only developed games.
The solution would be 3rd party, and useing anothers headset, like sonys (its developed for consoles).
Nope. There likely going to resist VR for an extremely long time since dual screens effectively make NX incompatible with VR.
That also gives them the chance to wait until the tech is cheap and VR actually has compelling software so they can release it at a cheap $200 on the NX3 or whatever.
No way a console priced peripheral is being supported on a Nintendo console, though.

PSVR isn't even PC compatiable, noway they would team up with Nintendo.
Well if Nintendo makes a 300-400$ Oculus rift compatible device, then I applaud their haggle skills.

There is a better chance of Sony rebranding the PS4 as the Toupee-station 2016 and revealing Donald Trump as their new mascot than this happening.
no i dont think this will be the case.
If they wanted to make a VR peripheral for it, then it will be, but I don't think they will.. (and hope they won't)
