The assumption that PSVR is a crappier device because its cheaper is blatantly wrong.

First, both OR and Vive are both open market devices -- and the profit need to be earned on the hardware itself. They simply cannot loss lead/ break even. Sony on the other hand, gets royalties on every single game sold for its platform.

Second, the $299/$349 price is clearly not the whole package, but the entry level package for people like myself that already have the camera, 2 move wands, and 2 move navigators. Chances are there will be a second package for $75-150 more that includes the camera, 1/2 wands, a navigator and game. Both the Vive and OR come with controllers and movement sensors (the OR for example, is forcing people to buy a xb1 controller, even if they already have one).

My gut is telling me the entry sku will be $349.99 with 1 or two games included. However, if they somehow decide to losslead and go for $299.99, I'll preorder and early adopt with no questions asked.

Remember the "power brick" addon psvr also needs to run on ps4.. that could be 199$ just for that..

If Sony can do 399$ for the basic bundle.. I think they will take a huge hit.. And I dont seeing them doing that.. not when 10 other companys will release (proberlly better) VR producs in 2017)

499$ for the basic model.. And 549-599$ for all needed hardware (whit out a ps4)
