Well that would certainly seal it for potentially the cheapest.
I always thought Nintendo would be streaming VR, but perhaps they couldn't get over their limited streaming(they said they couldn't stream to two tablets at 60fps and VR would require streaming two screens at 90-120hz at more than 720P).
I'm guessing the Occulus Rift/Vive/PSVR outclass the Switch in quality and fidelity, but how are their setups and ease of use?

Once you're setup it's very easy to use. I have my psvr next to the couch, cable along the wall to the console. All I have to do is reach next to me, put the headset on. which is very quick once you're used to it, press the on button and done. I don't use headphones with psvr, saves extra mess, you stay aware of your surroundings and 5.1 surround system works better than simulated 3D audio over stereo headphones. (nvm the sound quality doesn't compare)
It's a little bit more effort if you want to play a motion controlled game, turn on two move controllers as well ;)
Switch will be more less easy to use, yet it will be nice not to have a cable.
HTC Vive is CAD 1150 here btw, just the headset, now finally available for pre-order (not for sale yet in Canada)
OR is CAD 850 + CAD 280 for touch controllers
Playstation VR headset is CAD 550 (CAD 700 bundle still sold out, camera also sold out)
People are trying to sell complete Playstation VR bundles (incl ps4 and some games) for CAD 3200 on Amazon.

PSVR is easily the easiest to use out of the three. The most irritating one to set up is the Vive for sure. Just look up online. Some people spend hours to set up

Thanks for the replies. Seems Switch VR would be the easiest to use as well. I think I'll take the advice and look at people's setups for various VR devices. I probably should have done that first anyway.
Well it's Nintendo's call then, they can certainly come in with a Nintendoland VR, Panorama View, or the various spinoffs they have that could potentially use VR, like Link's Crossbow training or make VR minigames or modes within their big games(VR kart in Mario Kart singleplayer for example). So I'm not worried about their potential library.
