Perhaps "admitted" isn't the right word if you want to be a semantics nazi. They've shared the expected but still disappointing-to-many news that it's not as good as the Oculus? :p

I'm hoping it's good enough that it can be my VR this gen as there's supposedly a large library of games coming for it, but it really seems like the PS4 hardware would struggle with VR. Here's hoping they found a way!

To be honest, I don't think graphics are going to be much of a factor in the early years of VR. Yeah, you're going to get certain sites and forums making a big deal out of it but I think the general conversation will concern 'the experience'.

That's possible, but the suggested minimum hardware specs I've seen floating around for VR on the PC seems a tad beyond what the ps4 is sporting. Then again, it's probably mostly speculation until we start seeing the games.

I'm personally hopeful Sony's works out as, while i just finished upgrading my PC and it seems like it's capable of most VR in the immediate future, the other options just seem too pricey for a new platform. Even with Sony's headset and ps4 seeming a little dated, one has to imagine Sony saw something they liked to green light the project and the large library they say is coming.

Nintendo has proven (to me at least) that you can make some truly great games even if the hardware isn't cutting edge, and I have a feeling we're going to see this with Sony's VR. The visuals might not be as great, but I wouldn't be surprised if the owners of the oculus/htc etc wind up jealous of the library.

Besides, I have to imagine we'll be impressed enough by the new experience that we'll hardly notice the difference.
