No matter how much you argue it VR is still niche it's not the future. It's a tried and true failure to be the future for 30 years. PSVR isn't much different than N64DD,32X,SCD. |
It's obvious you haven't really tried it.
VR is never going away and will just be an exciting edition to an otherwise grown stale gaming market.

They want to be a leader in this market, now, and as it grows in to a multi-trillion dollar a year business. They have stated in the past that if the could reach 10% of the PS4 userbase with PSVR that it would be exceeding expectations. With huge games like Gran Turismo Sport, Ace Combat, Doom, Skyrim, Fallout 4, and much more on the hoizon, and a very nice back catalogue built, PSVR is in a very good position. As prices fall the adoption rate will increase. VR is something that every single business is diving into. This is going to help grow the medium, drive prices down, and develope a lot of expereince. PSVR will be a niche product, but it will continue to be very well supported, by SIEWWS, 3rd party game publishers, Movie and Music studios, Automakers, Aerospace, and many more software creators. I think VR will see its first larger market push with PS5 and PSVR2, and by the time PS6 and PSVR3 come out in the late 2020's VR will be as big as smartphones are right now. Thanks to Sony's early investment, they will be a very large player in the space. |
I agree on all your points. I don't even know why people are worrying when Sony has sold about each and every one they can produce.
It will never be a mass market thing until the price goes way down. That said a 100,- price drop before Christmas plus a Pro for 350,- could tempt a lot of people to buy one. People continue to be amazed by mine and there is enough software to warrant a sale already. Most people simply don't want to spent all that money on something that will probably be replaced in 2-3 years already.
That said, as someone already said...GTS and Skyrim/Fallout could definitely change that.
I only think one thing is missing still....Sony needs a more sophisticated Move replacement as soon as possible or movement in games will be limited due to the lack of thumb sticks.
