As long as it's fairly easy to implement VR as optional then I can't see why every FPS game can't be a VR compatible game, and with Sony having a CoD partnership I can see CoD being VR ready. I also assume every FPS that is also on PC will be VR compatible too. |
people should come to terms with just how cheap the HMD is. A modern smartphone with all its bells and whistles still has a BOM of under $250. I think PSvr will probably have a BOM of less than $120. Then throw in the camera and the move controller and we are looking at around $180. No matter what I see it having a BOM of no higher than $250.
This all doesn't mean they sell it at that price though. I see Sony selling it for $300 and letting the enthusiasts buy it first and use them to iron out all the kinks. then when word of mouth grows they drop it to around $200 in 2017.
