Correct, but he forgets that currently Morpheus and OR are in different markets and compliment each other instead of competing. It could be very beneficial for both.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I agree with Michael this time. That VR thing Sony wants to do is going to flop hard.


I don´t know man, it can be really cool if done right.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Think about this. The Kinect, when it was popular, sold 20 million at $100 a pop. Sony's think will be at least $300 on top of buying a $400 console. Anyone who thinks this will be a success is delusional.

Well, I guess the PS4 will just die now and Project Morpheus will be the PS5 in disguise and be a massive success.


Thanks Pachter.

Media Molecule has Morpheus development kits - and these guys have surprising ways of making games so I'd say that's a good start right there..

The "chicken and the egg" thing is probably true, unfortunately. The big publishers, other than perhaps Ubisoft, are not known for taking risks. Content will be the problem.

It doesn't have to be just gaming content. I'm sure if they want to reach a wider audience they could bring movies or something like getting to tour a city with the Morpheus.

Maybe even watching a concert with the VR headset...I don't know but I don't think content will be a big problem if you are the type of person looking for a large variety. If you just want games...Then maybe, too early to tell though.

If they hit the right price point....I mean maybe?

I dont think they will though.

What is your right price point? I'm ready to pay up to $250.

Wasn't it $150? Plus the cost of a console.
One promises you to be the controller, the other lets you be in the game. I know which I prefer.
