Maybe that's the reason for the delay? But anyway, the NX has yet to be properly announced and explained, and an add-on won't really kill the sales of a full console (maybe all the advertisement and media coverage).

psvr and the other vr platforms will probably generate a lot of media coverage but that doesn't mean nx is fully ignored.  media i mostly digital these days so there is no real competition that prevents both stories from being reported.  if it is ignored that is more a statement that no one finds nx to be an exciting platform than that psvr is soo super awesome and that could happen with or without psvr launching in a similar time frame.

I was thinking that might happen too, but it seems it will be applified by other hardware coming out this year as well.

could go the other way too.  if they launch in comparible time frames all articles written about the nx and psvr will probably mention the other platform is also launching.  it's fluff but still something journalists do pretty regularly.

These could mean a few things..

1). Release is now this Fall..
2). GameStop wont get it until this Fall.. meaning it could be a Best Buy exclusive or sold online ONLY at first.
3). The CEO has no real clue and this is what he expects..

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/02/16/sony-says-playstation-vr-fall-launch-timing-is-speculation.aspx

Earlier today, reports surfaced that PlayStation VR had slipped from the first half of 2016. Sony has responded, indicating that it is not updating the launch timing for the head-mounted display.

The news was based on comments made by GameStop CEO Paul Raines (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company). Speaking to Fox News, Raines said that the company expects to start shipping PlayStation VR in the fall.

We reached out to Sony to get some clarification. We received a simple statement in response.

“GameStop was speculating, and we have not released any further details on launch timing,” a Sony representative said via email. The last time Sony said anything to us was to reaffirm that PlayStation VR will be out in the first half of the year.

in communist russia fall starts in april.

Its soviet russia! Get it right!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Well then, looks like we have our answer.



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.

Sony has announced that Gamestop was speculating only and has no INFO on the exact release yet..    Even GameStop has said that the CEO was  only speculating on it being available in the FALL.    But.. we know companies say this stuff.. then announce delays.. lol
