I really agree your comment on the gradient part - which is pretty much what Spemanig said too - it's just that everyone arguing him is making the binary argument. 

If you look at the comment of the guy I replied to, first he posted a link to an editorial that was talking about 8K not being enough, whereas the whole discussion is essentially about sub-2K resolutions. So far all we have is underpowered hardware because upping the resolution to a decent level, would mean lower polycount and less effects. I'm not sure how much high end PC's could do, but when talking about decent VR, I think we can put PSVR, Samsung Gear and Switch cardboard VR into the same box of low end virtual reality. If you think PSVR is good enough, it's easy to understand why Switch cardboard would be good enough.

Nice to see you noticed the sarcastic tone in my post, though.

I'm guessing you don't realise resolution and screen size are not related in any way? As the Switch can only output 720p on the move, then it simply doesn't have the power to do 1080p per eye, which is considered the minimum viable resolution for VR. 

Of course they are related. It would be stupid to say otherwise. How many pixels per inch there are, depends only about the resolution divided by screen size.

Ok. 1080p according to who? 

Okay, then tell me, what resolution is a 24" screen?

What's the ppi?

Me: "I'm guessing you don't realise resolution and screen size are not related in any way?"

You: "Of course they are related".

No one here is talking about PPI. 

What's the resolution of a 24" screen?

i think this could be really good for nintendo. I believe they are in a situation where they have all the means necessary for vr right out of the box except for a screenless headset. The joy-cons may be perfect for vr games. The screen already has gyro built into it. Hmmmm or maybe it's the joycons that have gyro. That could be an issue. Although really, they could build a wii motion plus sensor into the aformentioned headset. They could making the cheapest way to access vr in the gaming world. As long as they didn't botch the launch like sony they'd be good. Metroid prime vr would be pretty awesome. :) Lot's of potential here if the pieces align.

This can't be serious... Everyone is talking about ppi in the thread, in case you haven't noticed. 

So now you're essentially trying to argue that the swtich has a "good enough" pixel density, and that it's resoution doesn't matter, when you're ignoring the fact that the Swtich actually has worse pixel densitiy than the likes of PSVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and pretty much any smart phone made in the past couple years. It's still going to offer a worse experience than any of those. This is still an argument against the Switch and you don't even know it.

So you're admitting that resolution and screen size aren't related?
