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.

No confirmed developer support?

That looks like a lot more than none, some of which are already available with Rift support on PC. That's already a lot more than Sony have at present
