Cant belive a parent just said that.

I am also a dad of 2 and if I was going to use VR it would be when the kids are up because I know somebody is aware and come get me if something happns. Why on earth would you go into a VR world when your kids are in bed alseep?

Also with a pc game you can see and hear your home.

Not sure why you and so many others make the jump from MS saying that "now" it isnt ready to them not planning their own VR tech to come out.  They have made it very clear that they are developing their own VR tech and they have already showed their AR tech in Hololens.  Spencer simply said that he believes that it isn't now, but it isn't going to be 5 years either.  So, I would guess their own tech is 12-36 months from coming out and they want to slow down the excitement for a tech that they aren't ready with their own product.  

Either way, VR is 12-24 months from mattering too much.  So, Spencer isn't that wrong...

Yep , that sounded really down played.

Xbox is gonna be left behinde when it comes to VR compaired to sony, basically just got comfirmed.

"Sure, VR will be awesome for some games like FPS and racing games, but what about the other genres? How will it be to play a third person shooter, an adventure game, a RPG or a platformer with those headsets?"

who cares if not all game genre are suited  for it?

If it turns out its the best way to experiance a FPS, and the market takes off while MS is just twiddling its thumbs waiting on others to see how things turn out... its going to be behinde from the get go.

"I agree with him but even in a few years when the technology is finally there to make it happen, will the games be ready for it?"

Its looks like the technology is here.... now, not a few years away.

Its just a matter of hitting the market with the right price & a good game to go along with it,... and you ll lunch the start of a new way to experiance gameing.

VR could be big, if such a wave was to hit the scene, you would want to be ontop of your game for it.
