A disruptive path to VR for Nintendo

Pyro as Bill said:

The transfer speeds for 'HD-VR' will not be possible wirelessly for a long time.

Combining the GPU of multiple systems means $1000 of high end gear becomes much cheaper split between 4 friends or family members.

Maybe I just don't understand the tech - If Nintendo could wirelessly stream to the Gamepad without an issue, why is it different with VR?

The gamepad streams 854x480 at 60 fps = 562 mbps. WiiU Gamepad uses chroma subsampling and h.264 compression to bring it down to about 30 mbps, which adds lag.

PSVR streames 1920x1080 at 120 fps = 5.56 gbps. No color reduction since pixels are in your face, no compression since vr is very lag sensitive.
