I was talking more specifically about the PSVR which will be sold to the public on the strength of its gaming and entertainment abilities. Abilities that have yet to be focused down into one important thing to 'open the flood gates': a killer app. Watching videos of people flailing around pretending their on a rollercoaster is fun, sure, but mom and grandma aren't going to fork out $300+ to buy PSVR just based on that.

The flood gates will open when you see the likes of Oprah promoting it on TV, not on videos of people playing VR games like Sony showed last month at Paris Games Week.

You're not talking sense. To put it mildly.

 

"Wii had Wii Sports, which pushed millions of consoles. PSVR has...?"

 PS VR has? Is this an honest question? Or do you suggest it has no significant support? Anyone who is following the whole VR thing knows that there are plenty of games solely meant for VR (Rigs, Robinson, The Assembly) or with VR support (EVE Valkyrie, GT Sport).

 

"This whole VR thing seems premature, so many tech companies rushing to capitalize on a market that doesn't exist yet. "

Yah, so tech companies are not supposed to rush an non existent market. But if no one is rushing how should a market of formidable size ever come into existence? And one might have the grand idea that tech companies rushing in, investing, promoting, developing, supporting, that it might really have something to it.

 

"The flood gates will open when you see the likes of Oprah promoting it on TV"

You trippin?

Is Jimmy Fallon the likes of Oprah? At least he is on TV. *eyes roll*

Oh yeah, how blind I must be to not recognize the massive sales potential of RIGS as compared to Wii Sports. You might want to speak to your doctor about upping the dosage of whatever medication you are on.
