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.

Total $72 for camera and two controllers

 

...and a gun also...

$14.95

(Why is the gun cheaper than the controller?)

The gun is just apiece of plastic, you have to snap in the move controllers to get it to work. So $72 for the camera+controllers. The VR probably isnt going to be less than $100. $200 price point for everything should be okay but not a major success. That is a big investment for something that may not get a ton of support, of course if it has a lot of support that $200 looks more reasonable.
