I think you made the best point here about VR in general. Companies have been making them for years with lesser technology, and it's no stretch to say that Sony still would have put out PSVR without Oculus interest. It just works because the components that go into it have matured to that point, not because nobody thought about it before.

From nobody. Just to show that you could also post that about how Sony "copied" or at least did something just because of another company. And yes, I know Sony worked on it before, like most companies work on thousands of things of which most never get realised. 

The question is if Sony would have released PSVR without Oculus, if they would have released it already for PS4 and not only PS5 and if PSVR would be exactly the same without the other headsets or if PSVR would be also a little bit different and not 100% like what it is.

And I doubt that you could say "yes" to all of that and that's why this whole thread is not really needed since we talk about a company which also does get "inspired" by other companies. If about parts of the product or simply if it's even a good idea to release it (ok, that's not like copying a whole part of the product but still^^)

Only a fool would believe that nothing from PSVR changed after Sony saw the competition. And that's a good thing, products would be pretty shitty most of the time if companies would never look at what the other companies do and what their ideas are. 

Why reinvent the wheel? Sony managed a very good design with their first attempt. At the very worst, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I like it. Acer Looks great.

It's a good ergonomic headset design. Sony has not been the first one with that idea. Get off your fucking horse. It's called adaption.

We still talk about VR? I thought that died months ago.

You don't avoid good design just because someone else did it first.

Who cares. Of all things to complain about sheesh.

Turkish, I'll await your protests when Sony next emulates a design from another company.

I seem to recall Sony borrowing quite a lot of ideas from Nintendo when it entered the console market. This is just what companies do, and we benefit by having access to a variety of more versatile options that are constantly building on one another.

I just ordered the new audio/headband equipment for my HTC Vive and am super excited, it's biggest flaw was definitely the original headband and this fixes that entirely according to the reviews I've read, making it exceptionally comfortable.

Besides, imo Sony largely copied them awesome night-vision goggles design from Jurrassic Park. :p
