| mornelithe said: Initially PCVR will be niche (to be honest, I think it'll all be niche initially), due to the costs associated with it. However, if the cheaper solutions take off, giving HTC and Facebook time to drop the costs on their hardware (as prices also drop on PC hardware), I don't see why they cannot achieve success. It just won't happen immediately. I think Yoshida's right though, it's good to have all these VR options coming out around the same time. The more people w/ the devices, the more advertising for the product will occur (simply by being in someone's house, they'll show their friends/family and so on). As this article states, and as many have said, part of the challenge of VR is showing the consumer why it's needed. And trying to convey that experience via words isn't easy. Way better to get them out on the market, and let word of mouth/in-home use do your advertising. |
I don't doubt price drops and the like, but I'm being told here by some that if PSVR gets adopted then that's it entirely for PCVR int erms of support, devs, games etc, I'm not dooming PCVR because I'm not entirely interested in VR for another few years but I'm just repeating what some on here and other sites seem to think.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
