I don't mean to be picky, but if its sold primarily to people who already own a PS4, isn't it by definition a peripheral?

Cos imo unless Sonys target  is 1mil units, it will be a flop if thats all it sells after 1 year imo. 3rd party devs dont like low selling hardware. Kinect sold millions yet truth how many games use it??.

I agree with everything you say. Other users things we are just posting this to put a downspin on this price just cos its Sony when thats not the case id be saying the same thing about any add on thats launching at such a price. its even more funny when people compare PSVR to TV's or cell phones. Like you say they where needed devices that someone pretty much has to have. PSVR or any VR unit is not a needed device its a device to add an experience to an already experiance you can get. If you dont have a TV you cant watch anything unless you go to a friends house lol. If you dont have a phone you cant ring or text people well on the go. If you dont have a VR unit you can still play games without it.. This is nothing got to do with Sony and other users shouldnt try to shoot down our points by making it look like it is. We are not the ones looking at this the wrong way, People that are comparing VR devices to TV's and Phones are looking at it the wrong way and getting got up in marketing hype imo.

You could be right but we don't really know Sony's expectations until we know the price. If it's $500+ then Sony know it's not going to sell 1M. $300 then they are aiming for 1M+.

And it's not kinetic, kinetic was a fad that didn't live up to its expectations. Vr is something bigger that's why numerous companies are investing in it.

Plus we probably won't see many high budget 3rd party for vr but we will see many games that support vr. Also if the 3rd parties do make a dedicated vr game, they have more than one platform to release it on.

How is it not a Peripheal?.  The only way what you say would hold true (And this is what i been saying) is if Sonys VR can be used on any Device Otherwise it is an add on for the PS4 to add to the experiance. Its not the same as with vcr or bluray players. Sony Bluray players are not locked to only Sony TV's or else then yes that would be seen as an "Add on" for that TV. But since they can be used on any TV that makes them a Device in their own right.

Yes the VCR player is a stand alone device. You can use it on any TV and it was needed if you wanted to be able to watch your movies anytime you wanted.

Clearly TV was needed or how else would you watch your games? movies?, whatever else..

Phones where needed to keep in contact with people and making doing so faster and easier then sending a letter.

VR is something in its current forum thats great and good and i love the experience but its still something thats not needed Since users can still play their games without one. You couldnt watch your movies without a TV, You couldnt play your Movies anytime you wanted without a VCR, and you couldnt talk to a person miles away in real time without a phone.

Sony's target is 1.5m:

That's not Sony's expectations gg. This company doesn't even know Sony's launch price.

Why do you keep trying to shoot down our points by saying its "Spin" or "Only saying it cos its Sony"??. What your doing is the definition of spin.

Id love for you guys to please explain to me how PSVR is the same thing as TV's and VCR players and phones since ye are the ones who started with the comparasons.

Would this car battery only work with the same model light??. If so then yes that battery would be an add on for the light since i cant use it with any other light. Like i said if Sony is really seeing this as a device in its own right they wont lock it down to just the PS4. Every comparison you have giving me of another thing so far all have one thing in common that you should be able to see. None of them are locked down..
