| NightstrikerX said: I don't think we're going to see a helmet within the next upcoming years. Rather, we'll see people slowly adopting 3D gaming more and more as Motion control becomes standard and 3d TVs per say become more commonplace. The biggest concern I have with a VR helmet is that it sounds like it would be exceedingly expensive, not to mention that it's exclusively a single player experience. It sounds difficult for other people to join in on the fun without having their own helmets. Which would just up costs together. |
This would be why Nintendo will not do it. It doesn't suit their new image, which is their old image, and its simply too expensive still.
@sguy78, We didnt even have them at arcades in oz. I had to wait 4 hrs one morning to go and play Virtual Reality ( the really common game with shooting and birds and shit) and it was marvelous.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
