"You seem to forget that within the PC gaming spectrum, there are multiple types of PC gamers"

No, i did not. I pointed out that High End PCs are not the rule.

They don't need to be.
Even if only 10% of PC gamers had a High-End PC, we are still talking 10's of millions of machines... The number is probably closer to 20 or 30%.
In December almost 5% of PC's had a Geforce 970, just that one card. - That's allot of boxes that can run circles around the PS4 and it continues to grow.

With consoles though... We just need to look at the Kinect for what can happen with 3rd party peripherals, when it succeed's you get a plethora of Titles.
When it doesn't... It often falls by the way side, forgotten in history.

...But one thing is for sure, if it is not bundled with the console from day 1, then it's support will almost be random.

 

5% of what? dammit. people really need to stop throwing in numbers without context. beside that. the gpu isnt the one only requirement that needs to be fulfilled. in my case i'd need to upgrade gpu, cpu, usb and OS. it wouldnt make any sense. better buy a a new PC and be read for the future. like in so many other cases of midlevel PCs. its not recommended to rely on below minimum VR ready PC hardware.

 

kinect isnt comparable to VR as a whole. motion controls on their own never had such an impact. it is too limited in its use and too much below average quality content chased away cunstomers. when it comes to entertainment motion-control peripherals like kinect are restricted to games only. VR is not. outclassing it in multiple ways. VR already has more significant titles than WiiMote or Kinect ever had and there is prove that the VR plattform has the posibility to have milestone games in pretty much every genre.

 

".But one thing is for sure, if it is not bundled with the console from day 1, then it's support will almost be random."

 

lol what? support isnt random already. sony has a whole studio dedicated to VR and several project in development. and if its random for console, it will be random for PC too. because, i repeat, a large portion of the games coming to PC VR HMDs will also be available on PS VR. multi-multiplattform.

As a reminder, because we all know how some people are. This list is only ment as an representation, not 100% fact. Looking at it i see a few missing (DOA X3, Drive Club). And others i wonder how they got there (Shadow of the Beast).

So what makes you think a steady support for Rift and Vive won't rub off on Sonys PS VR? Of course it will. And don't say "the power of the PC". Because those games...

...are far away from impossible for the combined hardware of PS4 and PSVR. If anything then it's the concept (room scale) the HTC Vive is based on that prevents porting to other VR hardware plattforms.
