Pre-ordering PS VR means that Sony can show those sales numbers to developers. These developers than have reason to develop for PS VR. If no one preorders PS VR -- then no one will develop for PS VR and the system will die.

This is a critical time for VR and you need to early adopt in order to help it grow.

Lol?

People don't even buy their 60$ exclusives on PS4 (look what happend with Driveclub studio), let alone buying a 500$ useless add-on. I don't think it will ever sell more then 100k this gen.

Not to mention people are saving up for the PS4.5 now instead of PSVR

to quote you

"And where is your proof?"



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

The really big exclusives haven't hit PS4 yet. 

It's not a useless addon, I think it'll quite certainly sell more than 100K this year even. 

I don't know anyone who is saving up for PS4.5.  

The Oculus and Vive aren't, because you can play any game you want in VR, and they can also be used for work and simulation (flying, racing, medical simulation)

I think the PSVR will be on 4th place:

 

1) Mobile VR (GearVR + Plastic headsets for your smartphones)

2) Oculus Rift 

3) HTC Vive 

4) PSVR

5) Third party VR headsets for PC like StarVR and OSVR

"Although we're not sure how many Amazon had available"

Then WHO CARES?

You're not going to want to play most games in VR.  That's something that everyone has been talking about.  You don't want to just throw VR into your game just because.  Games are best when they're made for VR.  There are lots of issues that need to be resolved before VR for every game becomes a reality such as motion, how games are designed, (It's best to track hands, but what do we do about hands going through walls?).  In the worst case, that could make games very awkward or even nauseating.  Not something that you'd want to play.  It might be cool, especially for certain games, but it's not likely to be the big thing that pushes VR.  

You can use PSVR as a cinematic screen for all your normal games as well.  A little different from hacked in VR, but still cool.

It didn't sell in out 4 minutes... it sold out in seconds.

I was refreshing the page every 10 seconds from 9:00-9:05CST and didn't see a single option to preorder. Finally when the preorder button actually showed up, and i clicked it -- it got rejected saying it was no longer available from that seller.

Holy fuck...what kind of domination is Sony looking at this gen??

How can you even say something that is this wrong?

Pretty much everything you said there was wrong.

Useless add-on... Its a platform in and of it self... but its useless to you?

people are saving up for the unannounced PS4.5 that reportedly was only in the research phase.

People don't even buy their 60$ exclusives, even though game after game has released and beaten new IP records back to back with most sales on PS4.

PSVR Words
Two PS moves
PS Camera

You pay a extra 100$ for stuff that should come free with it (look at Oculus/HTC Vive)
