Kinect vs PSVR

[KBG29]

VR is the future, and it will be here until holo decks can be made for home use.

PSVR is part of a much larger VR medium. VR is so far beyond just games and PlayStation, and that is what will make it succeed. Unlike Kinect which was an Xbox only thing, with some tie to PC, VR is available on Consoles, PCs, Phones, Stand alone, and on Super Computers with massivly more expensive gear.

With VR we have a medium which is being used in the training of Doctors, Piolets, Mechanics, and many more. It is being developed for by historians, museaums, auto manufacturers, airplane companies, sporting organizations, and basically just about field you can think of.

Going back to PSVR specifically, Sony is not looking at PSVR as a gaming only platform. Sony is looking at it like a Smartphone. They want to bring a much larger scope of content to the device than the typical games and entertainment usually found on consoles. The non gaming applications will be what drives PSVR to success, and ultimatly has it at the heart of all future PlayStations.

Honestly, at this point, we have reached the end of what can be done on a controller and a flat screen. All it is from here on out is prettier versions of the same thing we have been playing for over a decade. The combonation of VR headsets, Positinal Tracking, and motion controls will usher in a future new new gaming possibilities that will take decades to tune, and will offer 1000's of new and innovative games.
