| Lenny93 said: Apple has yet to make an equivalent to the Gear VR, and I believe this is holding back VR in it's potentially most mainstream sector; Mobile. Smart phones have a huge install base and are powerful enough for entry level VR experiences. Nintendo popularized motion control by integrating it fully into their Wii console. Integrated solutions for new technologies are more effective than peripheral attatchments because you get access to the entire market rather than a fraction of it. Imagine Nintendo creating a VR console in 5 years time with 4K resolution, no wires, 150 degrees field of view, lighter and smaller form factor with support for Mario Kart, Zelda, F-Zero and the VR equivalent of Wii Sports. |
Nintendo cant even make Nintendo main stream and Apple is losing a ton of market share to Samsung because their harware is a constant refresh of the same thing year after year. Samsung VR is cool, as is Oculous and PSVR the issue that will be around for a long time is the fact you need a giant headset and a lot of room to utilize it fully. Much like 3D Tvs, VR is cool but will never take off.
