"Oculus Rift-beating VR headset" Doubtful... |
because sony is not a technology company that spend millions and millions on R&D and do not have any previous experience with VR, none, nothing, nope.

They are, of course. But they can't do wonders within a certain price range. I followed a lot of twitter accounts around Oculus and there are very talented guys working on the tech behind Oculus with many smart techniques to make people not get headaches or make them puke, for example. Very, very complex math behind all this, leave aside the hardware which is needed for it.
I don't say Sony won't deliver a good VR experience although we have yet to see it. But I think that
a) the hardware of Oculus will be a lot better than Sony's solution just because of the price
b) the experience with Oculus will be a lot better because of the manpower and intelligence put into the project
b) is of course just a guess from me - we will see how it will turn out.

these are just assumptions. there is no reason at all to think that Sony cant make a better VR headset. is there a possibility that its worse, of course, a big one too. but their is also a big possibility thats its pretty much equal to it or even better.

What is your opinion based off? Just that it is Sony we are talking about?  No offense but the days were Sony tech was generally ahead of the competition are over for quite a time. (*cough* ps4..) And Oculus is rumored to be at about $500, no way Sony will sell an add-on at this price so hardware-wise Sony's solution will definitely be inferior to Oculus.

sony's tech will be better ("OR killing") for the simple fact it's sony and not some hohum little startup with no confirmed developer support. if sony puts 1 game on the thing it will already be better than OR. seriously,.. sony, nintendo, and MS are the only three that could possibly pull this off.
"There’s also no pressure on developers from platform holder Sony to adopt the tech; indeed, the studios we spoke to were excited by the technology, but questioned its viability as a platform."
i'm glad they aren't pressuring developers. that will foster good developer relationships. i do hope sony gets this in the hands of indies as they are more likely to take the risk to develop something unique for it. ..but i also question the viability of this. sony NEEDS to bring their "wii sports" to the reveal. if this doesn't get amazing press from day 1 it will flop. sony needs positive word of mouth on their side,.. this will be impossible to advertise their way to customer acceptance.
