MS partners will be releasing their HW in October.  They made a partnership with Steam VR so it will have access to all the games the Vive have including the apps and games that are out for the Hololens.  MS itself is not releasing any hardware, they have 5 OEM vendors who are all releasing HW.

Actually if the PSVR is on the PC you cannot assume it will come at a cheaper price.  The dynamics of the market is not the same so cost could come higher.  Right now the OR is at 500 bones and I expect that price to go down to 399 permanent when MS partners hit the market at 350 bones.  This is 50 dollars cheaper than the PSVR with better hardware.  

If Sony entered the PC market at the same time they released the PSVR for the PS4 you may have a point, if they release the hardware now no.

Considering PSVR already works on PC as is, why and what you change that would also make the PSVR would scale in price?

Let's see how much MS VR will sell.. and again it isn't my point is counterpoint to Vivister saying that if Sony wanted Oculus and Vive sell more they should also had released the PSVR on PC.

Exactly what games is the PSVR running on the PC.  Also when a company sell a device, do you think the price of the device is the hardware that makes up the device of the entire product chain that gets it to market.  Price is never just determined just by the components that are used to make the device.  From marketing, software and hardware to even QA and tech support.  All of those are cost that are using added to a product when it goes to market.

True it is Vivister point so we shall see in the next few months how things shake out with MS partner entry to the market.  So far the preview sound very promising but it will be the games that determine the worth of these new devices.
