Yes it could happen that all big 3 are considered inferior to expectations but the cheapest, most compromised product has also the biggest chance of becoming "useless" in the next few years when VR-software really starts to evolve. Personally I think quality VR and mass adoption can't be done financially yet, the tech is too expensive.

You say that but very little negatives have come out about all three of the VR systems except for price..So perhaps its expectations. The PSVR has been played by many people at game shows for the last 12 months, I've yet to come across anything but positivity... of course we dont know the price yet, but I think people are just looking for VR experiences, and if PSVR is cheaper and even if its not as good technically, I think for the first round of tech people will be happy with that, because nothing else has come out before it... 

Of course the first impressions are mostly positive now, it's easy to acquire since there is not much comparison to be made. All a VR product really needs now is functionality to impress but how about after 2-3 years? Can PSVR keep up if it's lower spec? What if real killer-app software comes up which the PSVR is not capable of running because of the lower specs and/or limited functionality, it's possible right? I'm just saying all these people asking for lower price are asking a compromise...you know there are already cheap VR options like Samsung Gear but then people say it's not good enough, yet people ask a cheap option from Sony but act like quality won't take a hit.
