I'll be laughing so hard if VR fails after all this hype. Not talking about Sony specifically, but about everyone instead. Everyone seems to be making VR glasses these days, but I'm still not sure where they're going to find the market for such expensive equipment. It's possible the market will be there, but right now I'd bet it won't be there for glasses costing more than $100. |
$100? Active 3d glasses are barely cheaper than that...That is an unreasonably low number.

And look at how 'popular' 3D glasses are. I know it's an unreasonably low number but people don't have a strong tendency to pay much for accessories. It could always change but I'm not too optimistic about it.

Gamers will pay silly amounts of money on an accessory if they think it's worth while. I personally have more than $400 in accessories just for Gran Turismo...racing game fans alone could make VR a success.

OK, I should've mentioned I was talking about large-scale success - something anyone is willing to pay $2 billion or a comparable amount for. At best, VR will be viable at these prices, but it won't be a huge success. And it has the high development costs many other accessories don't have (like the racing wheel you linked). It will be a niche unless the prices come down.
