If VR does become popular it will be Oculas Rift because PC actually has the power to make the games. PS4 and Xbox One can forget about it. Cant even get 1080 / 60 FPS but its going to do VR?

As If, power is irrelevant if there isn't any content. Who is going to waste money developing a 4k oculus rift game for that niche audience. Granted Morpheus won't have much either if we are honest, its first party support vs 3rd party support. Even if Facebook decided to develop games for it, I've yet to see a facebook game that wouldn't run on a friggen smartwatch let alone a ps4/xb1.

On the PC, there is no difference between development of a 1080p game or a 4K game.  You develop the game, and render it in whatever resolution you want, depending on the power of the PC running it.

And PC isn't THAT niche.
