I doubt it. It seems that Microsoft was hoping to make hololens as the main competitor, but when they realised it had more potential than just gaming, they decided to replace it with something that would be more gaming focused (oculus). Sony on the other hand has had a long solid plan with project Morpheus, and I am willing to bet that Sony will have better VR compatible games at the start of release

Well, it is different because:

a) I don't have to duct-tape Vita to my forehead to remote play it

b) I can stream directly to Vita or WiiU tablet instead of investing in a $1000 computer to act as an intermediary

Just like the last time they tried the 8 ball....oh wait.

“Microsoft was focused on the shot after the one they needed to make, putting the 8-ball in the corner pocket, but they missed the first shot and didn’t get another shot after it. Sony focused on the shot they needed to make, which was win the hearts and minds of the gamer. The broader scope of entertainment might be a bigger idea, but not with an unfocused execution. A tight execution on the 50 million people that matter, which are the people currently lapping up consoles … Sony fucking nailed it, and they deserve the victory.”

These articles are dumb. Xbox can never crush PS no matter how hard MS tries.

That article means nothing to me. As a owner of both PS4 and Xbox One when it comes to games Microsoft has nailed it. I play games, I dont play sales.

So what you're saying is that Microsoft is focusing all its effort on moving the Xbox brand into Windows 10, and they're working with Oculus to have VR on Windows 10? So pretty much exactly what we knew already, except now with Oculus working, technically, with Xbox One games.

Too bad VR is too expensive to take off. Without ALL the necessary hardware being bundled for

I don't disagree with your sarcasm.

But, isn't that the same thing that Morpheus does?  You strap a thing on your head instead of using the TV in front of you?  Yes, I know that the actual VR is different, but the logic is the same.

Oh, I don't have love for Morpheus either, or any other VR. Not for me at all, I think it's a fad that will be forgotten in a few years.

I was more referring to watching a virtual TV set like in that XBox/OR Forza demo. That was just plain weird (not to use harsher words), I doubt it will spark a sudden interest in XOne consoles.

I don't think Morpheus has any additional processing to assist the ps4 except for maybe sound processing and other processing related directly to the headset. As far as I know there is no high speed data port on the ps4 that could create a high bandwidth connection between Morpheus and the PS4. However the ps4 is already designed with huge memory bandwidth and a pretty capable gpu. It's already setup to provide superior VR performance to xbone by a reasonable margin.

VR is the future but how many generations before acceptance. A virtual world that appears almost as real as real life is clearly something that will be more exciting than conventional 2D displays etc. VR is so obviously the future but at what point in the future. There were people that thought television wouldn't take off as radio was good enough and that colour television wasn't much better than black and white. This is one of those occasions, there is absolutely no point thinking VR won't be the future its just a matter of when and for how long before the next upgrade. Perhaps virtual reality generated within your own mind once your mind has been genetically altered to create VR experiences for you. There are few people that want to go back to early entertainment devices like board games using pebbles or other early forms of entertainment.

Crush... not really. But it can help it compete, of course.
