Forums - Sony - Price not a factor in Project Morpheus development.

Jimbo1337 on 05 March 2015

I cant imagine that an accessory, Project Morpheus, will cost more than the system alone. I also cant imagine this to cost $300 as the PS4 will likely drop in price by the time Project Morpheus comes out. That being said, I think Kerotan's post of it being $250 (standalone) or $200 in a bundle is the most likely scenario.

Do we? I'm pretty sure most people here have said they think it will cost between $2-300...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

For this to explode it needs to be 199$. Maybe a ps4 bundled with morpheus will cost $600 but sold on its own $250. That's the most im willing to pay for it.


I'd pay $250 if it came with a game/wii sports esque demo bundle, as long as it has GT7 support.


Yeah. Only thing I know is sony won't sell this at a loss.  Software sales for morpheus only titles won't be huge and the games will be cheap with a small profit margin anyway.

it will definitely compete with Oculus and Samsung Gear VR price tag since both will launch before PS4 PM...

Man, I want to try it. I think the price will be $289.99. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that people that don't own the camera will have to buy that too.



Jimbo1337 on 05 March 2015

I think one thing that needs to be considered is whether or not the PS camera is included in our price predictions. I did not factor this extra price into my post above and I feel that this additional technology is needed in conjunction with Project Morpheus.

I almost feel that this almost guarantees that you will be spending at least $250 dollars for Project Morpheus and the new PS camera.

Thoughts?

I'll be laughing so hard if VR fails after all this hype. Not talking about Sony specifically, but about everyone instead. Everyone seems to be making VR glasses these days, but I'm still not sure where they're going to find the market for such expensive equipment. It's possible the market will be there, but right now I'd bet it won't be there for glasses costing more than $100.

$100? Active 3d glasses are barely cheaper than that...That is an unreasonably low number.

And look at how 'popular' 3D glasses are. I know it's an unreasonably low number but people don't have a strong tendency to pay much for accessories. It could always change but I'm not too optimistic about it.

There's no way the hardware will cost above $150 to manufacture after all expenses save R&D are taken into account. This tech has nothing unique to it, its just the timing that's right.

Headset - $200
W/PS Eye & Move - $250
Morpheus w/PS4 - $500

Move won't be necessary because of the controllers light bar. Makes you wonder how far ahead Sony's PlayStation plan is thought out considering the light bar has been there day one.

I'm starting to fear that aswell...

She was joking.... it couldn't possiblybcost as much as the PS4. Then again, when its released chances are the PS4 would cost $300 at the time. I can see this costing as much as $299,

Headset, camera, two move controllers... kinda hard seeing all that coming in under $199.
