Palmer Luckey; PSVR not as "high end" as Rift.

Eh -- this is only partially true. The OR has a screen per eye and at a resolution that's about 12% higher.

However, the OR also is a peripheral device for the PC rather than an actual platform. They make ALL their money on hardware sales and therefore OR will run with higher margins (same problem with Steam Box).

The PSVR will be probably be $299-399 vs OR @ $599. It will be $100 cheaper off the git go, just because of the platform royalties Sony expects to recoup on software. An additional $100-200 will be based on actual components (Sony can buy components cheaper too.... don't forget they are a longtime hardware manufacturer).

Resolution isn't everything...

In terms of VR - it kind of is.  Have you tried google cardboard yet? Even on my Galaxy S6 (2560x1440 pixel and 577 ppi) I could see pixels.

The screen is literally less than 6" from your face.

 

 

Quality of screen, unless it's chnaged everyone i've heard had the psvr as the better screen.
