ok that pretty much confirms that playstation vr will be not cheaper than 499$. i knew that the internetspeculations of an 299$ vr headset were nothing more than wishful thinking.

 

Except for no. Sony themselves stated that they wanted psvr to be priced similarly to a typical console platform. That falls within $250-$400 if you ask me, especially considering the fact that Sony is keenly aware of what overpricing this product will do at launch.

 

On one last note, Sony is through and through an electronics hardware company that undoubedtly has better affiliates and hardware vendors to pick from than OR (cheaper too, I'm sure). Couple that with  they aren't afraid to loss lead and with this being the product launh of a potential technological revolution, I think we have a very strong possibility of a price tag that's less than or equal to $350.

The bold part is so important and people seem to forget this.  Sony have been making electronics for decades and know how to hit a target.  No matter what you think of OR, they are still new boys and don't have the experence and contacts that Sony do.

As for OR at $599.  Dead on arival.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.
