Kinda burnt out on rumours, but, would this explain the WSJ rumours? The guy there was saying the screen was 1440p and was downsampling and everyone wrote it off as absurd. But if Nintendo is doing VR, a 720p screen wouldn't cut it.
If Nintendo does plan to launch it though, wouldn't they have an edge over the competition?
Because if I am correct it would mean the Switch would be the first in the console space to be fully wireless and not require it to be hooked up or communicating with anything else to play as well as foregoing an extra peripheral that costs as much as the console(I assume the VR headset is about 100 or 150 dollars and that's probably stretching it).
The Switch unit itself slots into the VR like the Google cardboard thing, but you don't have to buy extra controllers or whatever because the Switch comes with it's own Wiimotes basically, all wireless. And unlike Google Cardboard Nintendo would be giving support for the games and bolster the library.
So if true, and with Nintendo behind it giving it support, the Switch VR could very well be the best and likely cheapest option for VR.
But I'm not familiar with the other VR stuff much. How would Switch VR stack up against the other VR options? I assume Switch will launch at 250-300 and the headset likely 100-150. but simply because VR would require much more processing power which pushes the system to need something like that and why the fan would need to be on the Switch unit?
