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?

the consoles won't be able to offer Witcher 3 graphics in VR, that is correct, but apparently abstract/simplified graphics can work very very well in VR and can offer an extremely compelling experience

^ this.

Its move about a "alive" world that you can immerse yourself into, than it is about the graphics.

I think the consols all haveing X same type controller, same hardware ect, will make developeing a VR game much easier, than on a PC.

You cant really use a Keyboard+mouse when you have a VR set on and cannot see your own hands.

You need a controller for it. Haveing a market that all have the same system, same user contollers, same...ect ect will make things easier to develop for.

 

I imagine if you make a VR game on the PC you need it to work with :

all types of VR headsets, All types of controllers, with Differnt hardware in various strengths ect.

(use experiance will vary alot)

 

I think VR takes off with the consols.
