and by that i mean a doomed technology publically backed by MS but given no real investment by MS to ensure its success.  OR will fail in all aspects except the one thing MS cares about,..  disrupt and prevent the adoption of VR devices and force sony/valve to loose large amounts of money while ms waits for the market to jump into the next set of techology. for HD DVD it was waiting for digital distribution to become feasible with faster internet and larger storage devices, for VR it is waiting for hololense technology to become practically priced and software suport to increase. 

what did happen to HD DVDs?

Okay.

Moderated - Star Ocean

They failed and vanished.

Thrown into the same dump as the laser discs.

Kind of a bold statement right there.

I think it's best for us to wait for VR to be released to the public, and see how it plays out.

I don't expect it to do tremendously well, but I don't expect it to flop like that either.

When did MS turn all toxic and evil like some Captain planet villain?.

Not sure if this is a joke thread so I'll abstain from making a serious comment.

Maybe not evil, just not that smart

What is this oculus rift you people speak of?
