Hmmm...with Amazon having both the Move controller and cam under $100, $471 is the max you'd spend, there. Considering the only alternative is Oculus, that's much more reasonable. |
Your missing another alternative. Nothing.
With a situation like the PS4/XBone/Gaming PC, you pretty much need to buy one of them if you're interested in playing anything besides Nintendo games. So... the price battle is pretty important.
When you're dealing with an add on though, it's not really essential to gamers. So, it's not enough to be the cheapest option, but it also has to be a good value in and of itself.
You could take this with a grain of salt since I don't like Sony very much, but I think Occulus will sell more at this price. I see the kind of gamer who buys a gaming PC as more likely to buy a luxury add on like this, even if they're paiying 100 or 150 bucks more.
As for PSVR, if Sony is making a profit on the actual unit, then it might be decent for them. But, it's not going to have the same kind of success as the NX. It's a niche product for now. If that's their expectation, that's fine. But if they're hoping it will really take of.......
