that fine. but its not exactly a standpoint to be objecive from is it. knowing this then the response to your first post has to be "you would say that" |
I'm sure there are many others on here, in the same position as i am. I'm also sure that there are many others from the opposite side, whom will just use VR on their PC, and aren't even considering PSVR.
Let me guess - whatever they come up with will be "innovative" and "magical" for measly price of $699?

Nope. It's the only one of the 4 listed, that i never heard of. |
it's a peripheral you can use with Samsungs latest high end smartphones, so out of the 4 listed it has the highest install base of potential users (it's estimated there are ~ 13m "VR ready" PCs out there, Gear VR compatible Galaxy S6+/S6/Note5 phone sales should be comfortably above 100m - PS4 is at ~36m as we all know)
and it's already been released in 2015 (2014 as "innovator edition", compatible only to one phone) and as most of the expensive tech is within the phone the HMD peripheral only costs $100
by the way to call it "Samsung VR" is a bit misleading, it's a product designed by Oculus, just like the Rift

Thanks for the info, it's nice to know what it's used for and such. I guess i've never heard of it, because i've owned nothing but iPhones. for about the past 6-7 years.

It's Apple. I'm sure you can go way higher than $699.
| Sixteenvolt420 said: It's going to be funny, when Sony outsells them all, and the #1 and #4 spot on the chart are switched. I honestly hadn't even heard of Samsung VR until now. |
Nah, Gear VR will likely sell the best since it's only $100 and works with a popular line of smart phones.
Otherwise I think you're right, it's highly likely that PSVR outsells both of its PC based competitors.
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.

Prepare for spending 1200€ for AppleVR lol

I still remember when everyone and their mother wanted to make a tablet because it sounded like the next iPhone, including MS, which tweaked (and possibly butchered?) the Windows user interface just to make it tablet friendly. Yet here we are, witnessing the rise and fall of the tablets thanks to Samsung normalizing huge smartphones. So who knows! |
The huge size of their phones, is one of the main things that keeps me away.
