Maybe Sony will have some kind of supplimentary processing option for people that want to have multiple headsets connected to each console. Maybe this could be an incentive for Sony to drop the price of PS4 down to $299/£249, outside of the regular price cut factor (Sony usually drops the price of their new consoles down by $100 pretty quickly, like within a year of launch). Another price cut down to $249/£199 by Fall 2016 seems very likely.
I don't know about Hololens, it's similar parts wise (frame, panel, sensors, tracking system), although the panel tech being transparent may add to the costs, although it may not, MS may be forced to take a hit on Hololens retail price at launch to try to stay competitive. Assuming it can run on XB1, it's not clear about whether it's a PC thing. MS may be forced to add an additional APU & memory in a separate console for Hololens to work with XB1. |
You can always buy another console and link them to play co-op in vr :) No more need to extra tvs.
It would be cool if they allowed a single digital game purchase to run on lan connected ps4s.
Hololens includes the processing hardware in the glasses, MS wants to make it a standalone product. That would make it a bit more expensive but also puts a lot less strain on the console.
Hololens could replace or augment the board game. No fuss setting it up or putting it away. Everyone has their own perspective on the board which remains persistant on the table between the players. Easy to save and continue later on. No fuss hiding your own cards etc. It could be next social gaming experience.
Bring back battle chess or pokemon battles playing out in the arena on the table.
Of course buying 4 pairs of hololens glasses would not be within many people's budgets.
