| Dark_Feanor said: I don´t think Valve and Oculus are stupid to demand bleeding edges PC to run their VR sets. I would not even be surprised if it could run on tablets and smartphones. Any way, this race hasn´t even begun. General public is not insterested in VR and the companies are not pushing the market to adopt this tech, not even Sony. They are surfers on the tide looking and waiting for the perfect wave of interest in this form of entertainment. Maybe if Apple would make the first real move. |
That can change oh so quickly though. Sony's product is probably still at least a year from launch. I do think they hold certain advantages, being a games company with strong software support, the market leader in home consoles and potentially the chance to launch their product first. I have a feeling they might have learned from Move, and will dedicate more resources to VR.
Show off the tech on a few primetime tv talk shows, and roll out a massive advertising campaign. It could potentially become a big holiday seller, along the lines of kinect. All it would take it the right advertising, price point, and some compelling software. If it doesn' hit all three though, it could stay very niche and ultimately end up a dud.
It's certainly going to be interesting watching it unfold.
