Sony would have to sell it's headset at a loss if they want to sell much below Occulus, either that or it will be considerably inferior tech and so not as good an experience, and possibly even a bad experience (dizziness / headaches / nausea).

VR as a consumer device is more or less DoA. The question is whether it can be put to viable commercial uses. Walkthrough movies, gaming arenas, virtual tours...

 

Or.... they just planned or designed things better? more gifted workers, working on it for longer? make smarter choices?

Maybe they have better bussiness contracts, so they get components cheaper?  Just because company a) makes something, doesnt mean company b) cannot make something like it cheaper.

I simply refuse to believe this is as cheap as its currently possible to make VR headsets.

Occulus and samsung has a pretty good one for just 99$.. just instead of pc you just use your new phone.. :)

So you can make em in all prices allready now..

ONT:  this is occulus and zuckerberg wanting to have best VR experinces posible.. "no reason to play it quiet"
