well in all fairness he did mention AR too, but yeah i agree with what you said. but reality is if they dont show VR is a downside, it means they are very far away from ever releasing it (IF they even are). Sony already said they will be showing off VR games at E3. VR is that next huge step in gaming, at least it has the potential to be, insinuating that VR might be a bad thing to show at E3 is hilarious. 


I'd take AR like hololens in gaming over VR any day of the week... Because AR has way more depth potential than VR has.... VR is old tech it's pretty much 2 screens taped to your eyes with a Kinect tracker just for your head... Nothing really new and revolutionizing they just move your FPS thumb stick movement to your head... Big deal.....

AR on the other hand can do way more especially coupled with other tech like 3D and full body motion sensing...

anyway tried VR tech in gaming over a decade ago and yes it was impressive then... Not really moved by it much today...


old tech? its an old concept, yes. but the tech is brand new and much more advanced than anything we seen in gaming so far. im not sure what rock you people have been living in, but AR has been done in gaming for quite a while, 3DS, Vita, PS3, and PS4 all have AR and the results are in buddy, nobody really cared. granted hololens is from a different perspective, and i am sure they can do some interesting stuff in it (like accessing menu's, inventory, maps on it during a game). but it will always be limited in what it can offer compared to VR, which can offer a full virtual world, AR simply cant.
