Oculus purchased an industrial design team last year, but the only product they've released to the masses has been a collaboration with Samsung. "Valve's" virtual reality device is a partnership with HTC, and while we like to say it's their hardware the branding describes it as "HTC’s Vive headset, powered by SteamVR."

We're seeing a trend of virtual reality and computer gaming companies partnering with existing hardware companies for their products, which is a challenge Sony just doesn't have.

Not only is the latest version of the Morpheus well beyond everyone else in terms of comfort and fit and finish, Sony did it all in house. Those Move controllers? Sony created those, and they're on the shelves. The PlayStation 4? It's a locked down platform they control while insisting on high standards for virtual reality experiences.

I guess they made the Samsung display all by themselves too^^

So Polygon is at board for now until they pan the first VR game that comes out.
