PSVR only requires a $300-350 console. Many, many, many people have PS4s. While PCs are 10x more common, not many people have high level gaming PCs that are capable of running VR.

PSVR is the most comfortable, and best headset with glasses. PSVR is being designed to allow for a quasi shared experience / even a "replacement TV". They have already announced that you will be able to watch PS Vue through the PSVR.

Mobile VR isn't as cheap as you think it is. You STILL need a $650-800 mobile device to insert into the holder. The mobile device will be DRAINED insanely fast and won't last for more than 1-2 hours, and cannot process high Frame rates or actual effects. Essentially the only thing Mobile VR will be good for is porn, movies, porn, porn and porn.

I truly get that you  LOVE your PC. But you are in a minority of gamers and even a smaller minority of people that actually buy top of the line graphics cards. Most people that game on PC buy something JUST strong enough to run stuff on medium settings.

You call me biased yet you are the one telling lies.

PCVR only requires 1 HDMI cable and 2 USB 3.0 cables. That's all. You don't need anything else to connect the device to a PC/laptop. 

PSVR requires a 300-350$ console just to see anything on the screen.

The HTC Vive is the most comfortable, because it has the best headtracking, which means less motion sickness.

MobileVR will run on any smartphone you want, you dont' need a 1440p or even 1080P smartphone. It won't train any battery because it's connected to your PC/laptop via MicroUsb. Also I don't understand how games like GTA 5, Fallout 4 or Dark Souls 3 isn't considered "actual effects"


Like with any PC game, you will need different hardware for different games. Here is the 400$ PC I posted earlier:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant


CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($65.99 @ SuperBiiz) 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($39.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $399.83

Do you really believe you can just plug PCVR into any machine and make it work? Have you even bothered to read either the OR / Vives MINIMUM specs?

You keep strawmanning this whole concept of PSVR being all demos, but yet you think the quality of games that PCVR can run on your build wouldn't be demos?

Also, you forgot the OS that you LEGALLY need; you picked a horrible CPU; you are light on RAM; and you probably would want a better case.

And again -- now you are referring to hooking your mobile fun up to a computer which requires an actual gaming PC to run it. So we just circled back to it NOT being that cheap; and NOT that accessible for the mainstream.
