1.)

People keep getting shocked that an expensive medium with few reasons to own it, isn't selling well.  Oculus Rift costs $400, not to mention the hardware to run it.  Vive is still $500.  

PSVR is $500 to get everything and the most mainstream thing on it is a game from 7 years ago.  

2.) Todd Howard's words not mine.  I'm not going to play the semantics game of "we have had VR for decades and it never succeeded, and it won't now."  

1) Price is one of the main reasons why VR "isn't there yet". How come you didn't mention the Oculus Go? People are literally arguing it's a better experience than PSVR and it's a standalone unit that costs $200. It came out of the gate decently selling about 200K units in the first month, but sales appeared to have declined steadily every single month since.Industry-wide, sales from January to July were down 30% year on year. This is an industry that's on the verge of mass appeal?

I mean, It's pretty common to bring up iPhone/Smartphones as a parallel, but I don't ever remember iPhone or smartphone sales dropping 30% year over year.... do you?

2) I don't care if it's Howard's words or yours. If you're quoting him positively as you did, you stand by what he's saying. If you're not willing to stand by an argument you're making, why make it?

Just to be clear, I'm only arguing that the Go is better when it comes to watching videos. It's got a web browser, a pretty good app store and really good resolution. The PSVR destroys it in almost every other aspect!
