I think it will succeed if it can keep the price of the VR+Camera+Move set below $150. It will be a total fail if it is closer to $300, which I kind of expect.
What I am curious is how this will play PS4 games without them being crippled. You typically want games to run at minimum 60fps and more optimally 120fps to have a smooth experince. The video card will need to run at double horizontal resolution(I actually may be wrong about this). 3840x1080 for a 1080p experience, 2880x900(p) or 2560x720(p). I dont think there will be any AAA games running on this thing, mostly indys. Occulus rift users have already run into this problem. If I am right you will mostly see game that look like they are running in 720p 30fps for retail games, which isnt too bad. I dont think the current consoles have the horsepower to do the VR tech justice.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
