To all VR Owners: How many Headsets have you "sold"

I really wouldn't say that. The base PS4 is totally up for the task, as far as I'm concerned. Skyrim imho is the only game where I wish I had the Pro instead, the rest is perfectly fine.

 

OT - I sold 2 to date...

One to my brother, 2 hours after he had tried out mine. He was stating before, that he would never ever buy a PSVR. 

Another one to one of my best friends. After he had frenetically played Until Dawn Rush of Blood for 2 hours, he said this was the best game he ever played in his whole life (LOL he never was not much of a gamer, really) and bought a PS4 Pro and PSVR one week later.

Sadly, where I live atm I don't know have many gamer friends. Had one friend over and he was so impressed that he is now debating what is more important to him, a new TV or a PS4 + PSVR.

I'm glad to hear that's working for you. I'd heard that the performance was far better on PS4 Pro, but I suppose that doesn't necessitate the base model version being noticeably poor.

Still, it's an expensive piece of equipment so I'd have a hard time recommending it to people if they're going to be getting an inferior experience, given it costs the same regardless of which PS4 you had. I have to imagine that, much like Skyrim, the real meat of VR games in the coming years will become increasingly difficult to run without the Pro.

I suppose one can always upgrade later and still use the same VR headset, though, so it might be worth it after all. I personally went with the Vive long before the PSVR was an available option, and the one thing I really thought Sony nailed with it is how comfortable it is to wear. While there's fun things you can do with the Vive that you can't with the PSVR, I suspect Sony's headset it the best way to win people over to VR without it feeling too cumbersome.

Yeah, especially since Sony mainly focusses on a seated experience...most people don't have the space, will or dedication to rearrange their whole living room for VR.

Another thing Sony definitely gets right are the lenses and the RGB OLED screen, which has a noticeably lower amount of screen door effect than the Rift and Vive, despite it being a slightly lower res screen. I know SDE is the one thing, that would definitely keep me from buying a base model Vive or Rift. Same goes for the fresnel lenses which distort the image too much for my liking.

I still have to try to make my PSVR work on my PC. There is a workaround, but I would really like to try some PC/Steam exclusive stuff.
